After Texas took a 3-2 lead in the second period, RGV's Phillip Ischi lit the lamp to knot the game. Although the Brahmas scored again, the Bees came back in the third period to tie the game at 4-4 on a Kirill Startsev goal. After a scoreless overtime session, RGV's Aaron Lee recorded the only goal of the shootout to lift the Killer Bees over the Brahmas. After replacing Wylie Rogers earlier in the game, goalie John Murray stopped all five of the Brahmas' attempts in the shootout.
