The scoring pattern continued in the third where Temple scored trying to pull away on the score board but Slippery Rock was able to tie the game yet again at 3-3 being the final score at the end of regulation sending the game into overtime.

As both teams went at it in having their chances to end the game in the short 5:00 overtime period, neither team was able to put an end to the game.

To determine a winner, the game went into a shootout. Normally being a best of 3, Slippery Rock and Temple were tied yet again in the score of the shootout. So from there on it was sudden death rounds, first team to score without the other team to score would be the winners.
