Kalbian followed-up with a free-position goal during the 13-minute mark, followed by Wilcox's first of the game three minutes later.

The Bombers regained the lead with a free-position goal one minute later, but Kalbian's unassisted score shortly after tied the game at five before Ithaca went back in front with Riley Marion's unassisted goal.
