Montenegro scored three of the next four goals to draw within one at 7-6 with 3:47 to play in the second quarter. Hooper scored moments later to push the lead back to two at 8-6 but Montenegro closed the high scoring half with two goals to tie the match at 8-8 at intermission. The last goal for Montenegro came as time expired in the half.

The two teams continued to trade goals in the third quarter. After a combined 10 goals in the second quarter the two sides teamed up for 8 goals in the third. A goal from Bowen put Team USA up 9-8 with 6:11 remaining but Montenegro countered with two straight goals for an 11-10 lead less than a minute later. After Team USA tied the match at 11-11, Montenegro pulled in front again 12-11 with 3:25 left in the period. Daube again had the last word in a quarter with a delivery from six meters to tie the match at 12-12 going to the fourth.
