The first period was the worst of this trip for the Bats as penalties would put Austin in a 4-1 hole. Karl Sellan opened up the scoring for Arizona to make the score 1-0. Later Tyler Redenbach would score the first of two goals to make a 2-0 lead, but Austin would answer right back with a power play goal by Jamie Thompson.

Redenbach used the power play to score his second goal of the game. 3-1, Arizona. Dusty Collins added insult to injury to put the Ice Bats in a 4-1 hole at the first intermission.
