Emmanuel continued their attacks in the second half with shots by Albert Bajrami, Alexander Panner and Rafael Calderon, but Wesley Bigbee thwarted each attack to prevent the Lions from extending their lead further.  The Warriors would not back down as Feren Nunez and Tipton Wright each drove the ball toward the net.  However, Rodrigo De La Terga got in the way of each shot to save the ball and keep the Warriors off the board.  Despite late shots by Wright and Pedro Fonseca, the Lions went on to win the game 2-0.
