With the momentum swinging toward RH, Schroeder came back with an unassisted goal from Chris Ferry with 3:50 remaining in the third. The play began with a loose ball scramble and then the ball rolled toward the RH goal where it rolled harmlessly under sophomore goalie Matt McShea's stick in the midst of a pile up in front of the net. Schroeder then added the final three goals in the third. Two goals were scored by Costanza and the third came from Ferry at 1:17. Schroeder took the 10-5 lead going into the 4th quarter.

Each team scored two goals in the 4th to make the final 12-7 Schroeder. Scoring for RH in the 4th were McShea and Gause with both assists going to Hillmon. Schroeder's goals were scored by Ferry and Mooney.

Coach Gottko commented: "The first half was a defensive battle with both teams putting pressure on each others' offenses. We were able to withstand Schroeder's push in the third to bring their lead back to one, however the funny goal slipping under Matt McShea's stick turned momentum back to them and from there, they scored 3 in the last 2 minutes. It was tough luck for our kids and the Schroeder players capitalized to finish the quarter with a flurry. Both teams left everything on the field."
  
Schroeder goalie Dennis Costanza recorded 13 saves for the Warriors (6-6) while the Royal Comets move to 3-9.
