Mount Allison would answer with a powerplay goal themselves after Tallon Stephenson (Lloydminster, AB) fired a rocket in the top right corner.

Taking a two-goal lead into the second period the Tommies would continue to get the puck to the net and were rewarded with a third goal after Trinity Webber (Brampton, ON) tucked in the rebound in tight.

Moments later Subway Player of the Game Tallon Stephenson (Lloydminster, AB) would make no mistake on a two-on-one with her second snipe of the game. She finished the game with two goals on five shots. Mount Allison rookie centre Hailey Simoneau (Milton, ON) with the primary assist adding to an already great start to her Mounties career.

St. Thomas would go up again by two after Emma Wilson (Midhurst, ON) chased down the puck and deked her way into the Mounties zone for a great individual effort. Wilson would finish with three points on the night including two goals and one assist.
