Wichita Falls outshot Rio Grande Valley 12-7 in the opening frame, but neither team found the net in the opening period thanks to the strong play of both netminders.

A shot from Mason Van Tuyl at the blue line was kicked away by Shaw, but the carom fell right to Parker Wood, who snapped it home to give the Bees a 1-0 lead at 13:50 of the frame.
