Both teams started off aggressively with each managing to hold off the other. TJC finally broke the stalemate when Karon Chan (TJC #7) scored with 1 minute and 35 seconds left on the clock in the first quarter.

It was an aggressive match with both teams trying to out play each other. Michelle Tang (ACJC #3) finally put in one goal for the team three minutes into play. However, Wu Zhekang (TJC #5) scored just 20 seconds later for the onslaught to continue.

Lynn Chong (TJC #11) and Zhekang (#5) subsequently put in two goals in the last two minutes for TJC to lead 7-1. Michelle (ACJC #3) then scored her second goal of the afternoon just 41 seconds from the end of the quarter for the score to stand at 7-2.
