The offensive dominance continued in the second, scoring eight goals to Madonna's three. Wilson started things off for the Warriors, scoring at the 13:31 mark before Buhr scored another at 9:37. The hosts answered with a goal of their own, but the Warriors scored two straight after that behind the efforts of Barkdull and Wilson. The Crusaders were able to put two more on the scoreboard; however, the Warriors were too much to handle as they scored four more with goals coming from Reinhard, Donally, and Wilson, giving Tech the 12-4 lead.

The hosts were able to score two more times in the quarter, but the Warriors continued to respond, scoring three more to take the 17-7 advantage.
