Three minutes later, Durgin scored to extend the lead back to three. 40 seconds later, Higgins scored for the Pride to make the score 5-3. Maritime proceeded to go on another run, this time seven unanswered, to close out the half. Durgin, Llewellyn, Naar, and Dickinson all scored to give the Bucs a nine-goal, 12-3, lead at the break.

In the third quarter, the Buccaneers opened the scoring with Durgin's third of the day. Close to seven minutes went by before the next goal was scored which came from the Pride, and the stick of Alto. The Bucs led 13-4 midway through the third.
