The Cobras would double their lead three minutes later when Chase Lennon scored from Skyler Earle as the Cobras took their 2-0 lead to the second quarter. Wingate would get on the board part way through the second quarter, before Kabo scored unassisted less than a minute later to put Coker back up by two.
