West Northumberland scored the only marker in the second period, tying the game at 2-2 midway through the second period. Katie Funk fired a bar down wrister (and eventual game winner) that rebounded off the back of the Wild tender to give Bancroft a 3-2 lead midway through the third period. The Wild pulled their goalie late in the third period looking to tie the game.
