Trine would score its second goal in the 16th minute of the same period, taking advantage of their lone power play opportunity of the game. Hernalsteen was the goal scorer, while freshman defender Kailey Cameron (Nowthen, Minn.) added the assist.
The Panthers would add their lone goal of the game to the scoreboard just a minute later and the teams would enter the first intermission with Trine in the lead 2-1.
In the second period freshman forward Eryn Isaacson (Fenton, Mich.) went on a hot streak scoring her two goals of the game. Her first came unassisted in the fifth minute of the period. The second came in the 11th minute and was assisted by Westner and freshman forward Emily Moore (London, Ontario).
