River Falls led 3-0 at the first intermission after scoring at 8:15, 12:48, and 15:51 (power play) in the period. Lake Forest got on the scoreboard 91 seconds into the second period on junior Sam LePicier's (Williamstown, Mass./Mt. Greylock H.S.) second goal of the season. She was assisted by freshman Jessica Dare (Whitmore Lake, Mich./Belle Tire) and junior Courtney Bean (Peoria, Ill./Team Illinois). After the Falcons regained their three-goal advanatage at 11:09, Bean converted a power play opportunity with 3:19 left in the period to make the score 4-2.

Forester freshman Kim Herring (Dover, N.H./Groton School) scored her team-high fourth goal of the young season at the 15:24 mark of the third period to pull the visitors to within a goal. Kravich and junior Jamie Sauer (Eagle River, Wis./Northland Pines H.S.) were each credited with an assist. River Falls put the game away, however, on a power play goal with 1:59 to play. Sunday's game was a scoreless affair until the 5:51 mark of the third period when River Falls, while shorthanded, scored the contest's only goal. Lake Forest sophomore goaltender Alyssa Wintermute (Belmont, Ontario/St. Thomas Panthers) had nine saves in the opening period, 11 in the second, and 10 in the third for a total of 30.
