Kourounis opened the scoring midway through the first period with her first of the game. Assists were credited to Tridico and Jillian Rops.

Jacklin tied the game at one a few minutes later with her first of the game, sending the game into the intermission tied at one.

In the second, Jacklin and Kourounis again scored for their respective clubs as the game went into the final period deadlocked at two.

After captain Alyssa Baldin gave Windsor their second lead of the game, the Lancers spent much of the third period in the penalty box.

The Gaels took every advantage and scored two power play goals in the final period to take the lead and the win. Chantal Morais evened the game at 5:06 before Jacklin secured her hat trick with the game winner at 13:43.
