Greenville wasted little time bringing the fans to their feet, as Anthony Beauchamp brought the opening possession down the right wing and created a rebound that J.D. Greenway put into the back of the net just 12 seconds into the game. After a late-period, highlight-reel save by Jacob Ingham to deny the Gladiators a power-play goal, the Rabbits added to their advantage with another rebounding puck that was pushed into the net, this time by Bobby Russell, for the 2-0 lead at 18:18.

After a scoreless second period that saw Ingham make another highlight-reel save, Atlanta finally broke through, as Alex Whelan scored 1:51 into the period, breaking up the shutout bid. At 8:37, Brannon McManus netted his fourth of the season, a power-play goal, to re-establish the two-goal lead for Greenville. Late in the game, Ethan Somoza slid the puck to Joe Leahy, who scored the empty net goal at 18:51, solidifying the 4-1 final.
