The visitors stretched the lead to 7-1 by scoring three times in the second period and again in the opening minute of the third, but Oswego State fought back to score three times in the final period of play.

Stephanie Esposito and Lister scored power-play goals for Oswego State, and Jenna Kirkwood added a short-handed goal late in the third period to cap the scoring for the Lakers. Lister finished the game with three points, and Angie Friesen had a pair of assists.

Starting goalie Hilary Hitchman made 25 saves on 30 shots, before being replaced by Erin Robson who made 13 saves on 17 shots. Herrick finished with 22 saves for St. Olaf.
