The Colonials struck first on a power play goal from Jessica Gazzola with 14:04 to go in the first period.

The Friars answered with a power play goal of their own ten minutes later. After an offensive zone face off win, Cassidy Carels (Bruxelles, Manitoba) moved to the puck to Lexi Romanchuk (San Jose, Calif.) at the center point. Romanchuck's point shot found Christina Putigna (Grimsby, Ontario) in the slot, who snuck the puck past Robert Morris' Jessica Dodds. The Friars finished the first period with the score tied at one.

Myers made 15 saves in the second period as the two teams battled back and forth. The score remained tied at 1 until two seconds left in the period when Brittany Howard was awarded a penalty shot. She collected on the opportunity and the Colonials took a 2-1 lead heading into the third period.
