After a week off, the Gators played West Side Cycles in their second game of the season, and were unfortunately met with a loss of 4-3 by the end of the night. West Side Cycles started the game off with a goal four minutes into play, and fought to keep the score at 1-0 up until the last minute of the period. With just 58 seconds left, Brian Pasono (17) scored, assisted by Mark Schirmer (11) and Alé Mendoza (4), evening things out until the next Gator goal, again, at the very end of a period. Steve Randall (10) made his shot with minutes left in the second period with help from Frank Warner (5) and Dave Varecka (18).

The third period began with an almost immediate power play goal for West Side Cycles. It was quickly answered with Pasono's second goal of the night, scored just seconds later. The Gators' scoring stopped there, however, and West Side Cycles went on to score two more times, ending the game at 4-3.

Shots on goal were rough: West Side Cycles had over 40 shots on goalie Jerry Suplicki (35), and the Gators came back with barely 25. Warner (5) and Schirm (11) both had penalties over the course of the night, but remained integral to the Gators' defense. The Gators played a solid game, but ultimately gave in to West Side Cycles', and took their loss in stride.
