In the second quarter, the Radicals began it with the disc. The Radicals scored the first point, but then the AlleyCats scored the second on a pass from Travis Carpenter to Kegan North. At halftime, the AlleyCats trailed the Radicals, 14-10.
But the AlleyCats could not overtake the Radicals. The final score of the game was 27-18. AlleyCats finish the season with 12-4 record. This was the first time the AlleyCats obtained over 10 wins in a season. Rick Gross led the team with 28 Ds while Cameron Brock led the offense with 58 goals and 31 assists.
