Ben Duffy had one of the Norfolk goals in the contest. Florida jumped out front first with a goal from Alex Tonge. Tonge got the puck off a stretch pass from Ben Masella. Tonge skated in on Ty Reichenbach and went from his forehand to his backhand and slid the puck past the pad of Reichenbach to give Florida a 1-0 lead at 6:59 of the first period. The Everblades extended their lead with a goal from Sam Warning. Matt Finn skated the puck through center-ice. Finn fed a pass to Slater Doggett on the left side. Doggett fed the pass to Warning who skated into the right circle and fired off a backhand shot that went over the glove of Reichenbach to give Florida a 2-0 lead at 8:35 of the first period. Florida would further their lead with another goal from Sam Warning. Doggett sprung Warning in on a rush on the left side after an Admirals turnover. Warning skated through the left circle and fired a wrister over the glove of Reichenbach to give Florida a 3-0 lead at 13:58 of the first period. Norfolk answered the Florida tally with a goal of their own, this time from Ben Duffy.

Duffy went through the right circle, maneuvered around a sliding Florida defenseman, and shot the puck past the stick of Jeremy Helvig to cut the Florida lead to 3-1 at 14:35 of the first period. The Everblades reclaimed their three-goal lead with a short-handed goal from Josh Lammon.
