The Devils continued adding pressure when at 14:02, Toska drilled a ball straight into the post in a close chance for the Devils.

About three minutes after halftime ended, Montanile connected with Toska, who headed it into the goal for his second goal of the night, to give the Devils a commanding 4-0 lead. The Devils continued to bring shot after shot towards CCNY's net, and at 62:44, Toska got the ball off an errant pass, dribbled around a few CCNY players, and sniped the ball into the goal, completing a hat trick for himself and further increasing the Devils lead to 5-0. The score would remain that way until the end of the match, as the Devils picked a commanding win over CCNY.
