Britt answered with back-to-back goals (16:46 and 19:35) to five Holy Cross the 4-3 advantage. Rowse tallied her fourth point of the game on a goal at 20:38 to push the Crusaders lead to 5-3. Orange and Blue senior Melissa Montefusco closed the gap to 5-4 with 3:09 to go in the first, ending the scoring for the frame.

In the second half, the two teams traded goals for the first 15:00 minutes, as Holy Cross clung to a 7-6 lead. Daly, who scored the Crusaders final three goals, pushed the HC lead to 8-6 at 46:38. Bucknell put together a surge, scoring three unanswered goals to take a 9-8 advantage with 2:18 remaining in regulation. Daly's score at 58:29 tied the score, 9-9, to send the game into overtime.
