Two goals by Nejedlo gave UW-Stevens Point (9-6-2) a 2-0 lead in the second period before Marian (3-11-0) got one late in the period to go to the third down just a goal. However, Lemirande gave the Pointers a two-goal lead again that they would hold onto.
 
Nejedlo opened the scoring at 11:42 of the second period with a power-play goal from Lemirande and Ellie Punnett (Hailey, ID/Athol Murray College of Notre Dame). The senior grabbed her second less than four minutes later while the Pointers were shorthanded.
 
The Sabres got a goal from Courtney Wittig at 17:37 of the second to cut their deficit in half but Lemirande cashed in on the power play at 5:14 of the third to make it 3-1. Marian's Rian Lennon made it a one-goal game at 6:55 of the third but Lisa Fowle (Wausau, WI/Wausau West) turned aside the only two shots she faced the rest of the way.
