Shreveport stuck again just six seconds later at 4:41 and Joe Samango raced through to the LW circle and slapped home his second goal in as many games to help the Bugs jump out to an early 2-0 advantage.

SHV increased their lead in the second as Samango sniped in his second goal of the game in the middle to make it a 3-0 contest. OKW responded w/ a goal from Ben Likness near the end of the period to make it a 3-1 ballgame. The Bugs led in SOG, 19-13 after two.

The Warriors would creep closer at 14:09 of the third as Ronnie Wade would tally one on a breakaway to cut the deficit to 3-2. The Bugs would put the game away as Jake Stock would roof in his fourth goal of the campaign to push the lead to 4-2.
