The powerplay goals by Tyra Meropoulis and Emerson Elliot were followed by a third goal for the X-Women, as McKiya Mazur scored with just two seconds left in the second period.

Scoring continued two minutes in the third period as Elliot tallied her second powerplay goal of the game to bring the score to 4-0 in favour of STFX.
