Box Score
 
After 25 minutes of play, the Tommies (5-2-1) led 2-0 thanks to a pair of goals by Kelsey Barnier. However, a goal from Hailey Rock (Hammond, WI/Central) and two goals from Cassandra Salmen (Stillwater, MN/Stillwater) netted the Pointers (10-1-1) the road win.
 
Rock's second-period goal, her second of the year, cut the UWSP deficit in half headed to the third period. In the third, Salmen scored the game-tying and game-winning goals to bring her tally to eight on the season.
 
The tying goal came on a breakaway at 10:47 and came off Nicole Schaub (Vadnais Heights, MN/White Bear Lake)'s second assist of the game. Salmen then scored her second game-winning goal of the season 3:05 later from the left corner, sneaking a shot under UST goalie Taylor Neisen. The game-winner was assisted by Emily Lester (Eau Claire, WI/Memorial).
 
UW-Stevens Point held a 36-33 advantage in shots in the contest. Both teams were 1-for-4 on the power play, with the Pointers taking nine of their 36 shots on the power play. UWSP killed off a UST power play in the final five minutes of the game and survived the final minute and a half of the game as St. Thomas pulled Neisen in search of a tying goal of its own.
