Mount Royal was assessed five consecutive minor penalties in that period, including an overlapping pair which gave the visiting Trojans a two-man advantag for 1:51. The Cougars successfully killed off all five penalties and came out of the period with a 3-2 lead.
Barry Horman lead the way for Mount Royal with a natural hat trick, scoring three stright goals in the second period.
