Emily Quizon answered with one for the Panthers before Daniel Blanchard slid a low shot past Middlebury goaltender Kate Kogut to make it a 2-2 game. Middlebury took a 3-2 lead at 11:09 as Shannon Sylvester found Abby Kurtz-Phelan with a nice cross-crease pass for a four-on-four goal. The Panthers took a two-goal lead at 12:51 as Molly Vitt scored the team's third shorthanded goal of the game. Neither team would score for the remainder of the period, leaving Middlebury with a 4-2 lead after two. The third period saw each team with power play opportunities, but neither would score, making it a 4-2 final.
