The rookie scored his second goal of the year. Lee Baldwin also assisted on the goal. Just two minutes and ten second later, Cincinnati tied the game at one.

Shootouts were forced with Cincinnati taking advantage early. Philippe Cornet and Barry Almeida scored in succession for a two goal lead. Only Jordie Johnston scored for Greenville bringing the final shootout score to a 2-1 Cincinnati win and a final game score of 2-1 in favor of the Cyclones.
