Four different players scored for UW-Stevens Point (9-1-1, 5-1 WIAC), who lead 4-1 in the final two minutes of the game. UW-Eau Claire (1-7-2, 0-5-1 WIAC) scored twice in the final minute and a half of the game, including once with nine seconds left.
 
The teams were tied at 1-1 after the first period.

Just 37 seconds later, however, the Blugolds hit back with a power-play goal by Amanda Kane.
 
The score remained tied for over 20 minutes until Salmen gave UWSP the lead again late in the second period. Salmen's fifth goal of the season was set up by Meredith Ingbretson (Hayward, WI/Hayward).
 
The Pointers then extended their lead to 4-1 with a pair of third-period goals. Josie Johnson (Waunakee, WI/Waunakee) scored her first goal of the season midway through the third period before Allie Tanzer (Chippewa Falls, WI/Chippewa Falls) tied Salmen for the team lead in goals with five off another assist by Bollinger. Tanzer's goal, the eventual game-winner, came on the power play little more than two mintues after Johnson's.
 
Late goals from Sam Knuton and Katie Burkey for UW-Eau Claire made the final score 4-3.
 
UW-Stevens Point outshot UW-Eau Claire 53-30 in the game led by eight shots each from Salmen and Emily Lester (Eau Claire, WI/Memorial).
