The Chargers would continue the offensive assault in the second half registering three more goals on seven shots. Kyle Simmons (59th minute), Oscar Leon (61st minute) and Brandon LeMier (86th minute) all found the back of the net in that second half. Simmons also registered an assist on teammate Jarrod Muggleton's goal in the first half.
The Alabama-Huntsville defense limited scoring opportunities for GSW throughout the shutout. Senior Shane McKay, junior Mauricio Chaves and junior Ross Sellers all registered a shot on goal in the losing effort. Junior KleesBatner Loembet-Makaya also fired off two shots.
