DC outscored their opponents, 2-1 in the third quarter after Pierce completed the hat trick with his third game goal and sophomore Nick D'Alessandro (Levittown, N.Y.) closed out the quarter with goal off Wiberly's third assist of the game to make the score 7-6 at the end of three quarters.

Palm Beach would outscore Dominican 5-2 in the final 15 minutes with two Charger goals coming off the stick of Michael Reyes (East Meadow, N.Y.).
