Hanowski was able to put the Saints back on top on a power play opportunity with her second goal of the night shortly after. The Saints had a second power play opportunity just two minutes later in which the Saints capitalized on when Abby Sawyer also scored her second of the night.

Waigand's third goal finished off the second period to put the Sabres back within one when she hooked up with Lauren Zachwieja and Kaitlyn Johnson.

Sawyer shot a hat trick of her own, with her third goal coming slightly over seven minutes into the third to give the Saints a two goal lead. In the final minutes, Nina Waidacher sealed the deal with an empty net goal in the final minute.
