Apple Valley scored again early in the second half after lots of action in front of the net. Your Lightning answered back with a goal by midfielder Eddie Pacieznik assisted by Keenan “Peanut” Devine.

It was a physical match with lots of shots by Eastview, but the Lightning never took the lead. With less than five minutes left in the second half, the Eagles put one past goalie Sam Perona and beat the Lightning 3 to 1.
