Pacific returned the score 4 minutes later to tie. Biola pulled ahead when Junior John LaDue assisted Crandall late in the first quarter.

The Eagles scored again when Senior Co-Captain Sean Connally assisted Senior Ryan Agadoni who scored his first goal of the season but the lead would be short-lived. Pacific returned the favor by scoring 4 straight goals in the late second and early third quarter to put themselves up by two.

Connally hit Crandall again on a fast-break to cut the lead by one. Then the Agadoni brothers gave Biola the lead with scores from Freshman Josh Agadoni and then a goal off the face-off by dodge king Ryan Agadoni.
