No 3 arrived 1min 49sec into the final session when Kohen Olischefski scored and the same player added another with the clock on 48min 37sec.
Injury-hit Fife held out until 57min 20sec when Tyson Helgesen scored the final goal on a night in which the Scots were outshot 44-17 in front of a crowd of over 3,100.
