After trailing 3-1 at halftime, Redwoods came alive in the third quarter, rattling off four unanswered scores. It began with a Myles Jones score off the dodge, moved on to a Sergio Perkovic two-pointer, and finished off with Ryder Garnsey scoring from X off the two-man game with Near. Tim Troutner, who finished with 71 percent of shots saved off of 15 saves, shutout Chaos in this quarter to keep the score 5-3. 

But this late-night game was not over by any stretch of the imagination. Following a Redwoods score from Brendan Gleason, Jake Froccaro notched his first goal of the Championship Series to bring the game back within two. Byrne then reduced the deficit to one off a feed from Mark Glicini, who just forced a turnover in the defensive end. 

It all seemed over when Joe Walters, also scoring his first of the tournament, sniped a pinpoint lower corner shot with just minutes remaining. But Troy Reh would not let this game go, ripping a two-pointer with a minute and a half remaining to send this one to overtime.
