HOW IT HAPPENED
- After eight minutes of play, Sara Cruise put the Lakers on the board as she was able to recover from a blocked shot, sending the puck top shelf on the Plymouth goalie. Cruise was helped along by Annika Neufeld-Kreider and Kate Randazzo.
- The Panthers were able to convert with one second remaining on their power play at 6:25 in the first period, after a shot deflected off the cross bar to a waiting Alexis Fagan who squeaked it by the left goal post. Line mate Brooke Maggy was credited with the lone assist.
- Emily Gustafson notched the go-ahead goal and eventual game-winner for the Lakers at 18:48 in the second period, the first of her collegiate career, as her shot deflected off a defender and into the Panthers' net. Emma Morisette and Philomena Teggart aided the freshman's tally.
- Sophomore Aislinn McAleer also tallied her first-collegiate goal, making a diving shot at Randazzo's rebound off the goalie pads. Randazzo was fed the puck by Katelynn Ferguson who gained it of a Laker faceoff win, both recorded assists on the goal.
