The first period was a defensive battle neither team was able to score, the Cyclones broke the scoreless drought just 2:49 into the second frame when McFarland beat Glads goalie Louis Domingue on the power play with a wrist shot from the slot to give the Cyclones a 1-0 edge.
Mathieu Aubin made it a two-goal game at the 14:11 mark on another power play. Gwinnett was held to nine shots in the second period, while Cincinnati uncorked 16.
The 3rd period opened with Gwinnett trailing 3-0, but Cincinnati didn't release the pedal a bit they added two more goals on 14 shots in the final to wrap up the 5-0 victory. The Gladiators were limited to 16 shots in the final two periods while the Cyclones tallied 30.
