Box Score
 
Kinsel scored for the 19th time this season 14 seconds into the power play to give UW-River Falls (14-2-1, 6-1-0 WIAC) the decisive goal. Kinsel was the penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, giving UW-Stevens Point (10-7-2, 2-3-2 WIAC) a late 6-on-4 with an empty net but the Pointers could not convert.
 
Kinsel's late goal came shortly after Ali Biagini (Stillwater, MN/Stillwater) had tied the game at 3-3 with 1:07 remaining in the third with her second goal of the game from Shauna Bollinger (Menomonie, WI/Menomonie) and Cara Lemirande (Janesville, WI/Craig).
 
The Falcons led 2-0 early in the second period after a power-play goal by Carina Randazzo and a short-handed goal by Dani Sibley. Lemirande quickly cut the Pointers' deficit in half, scoring on the power play from Kat Nejedlo (Fond du Lac, WI/Fond du Lac) a little over a minute after Sibley's goal.
 
Nearly eight minutes later, Biagini brought UW-Stevens Point level from Ellie Punnett (Hailey, ID/Athol Murray College of Notre Dame) heading to the third. Sibley scored her second of the game at 6:36 of the final period to put the Falcons ahead again prior to the late goal for each team.
 
UW-River Falls held a narrow 28-27 edge in shots on goal in the game. Angie Hall and Sydney Conley (South St. Paul, MN/South St. Paul) each made 24 saves in net. The Falcons were 2-for-9 on the power play, while the Pointers went 1-for-6.
