Moore scored a second power-play goal, this one off assists from Lexi Bonfe and Courtnie Hogan, at 8:11. Olson then connected at 8:30 off helpers from Allison Jacobsen and Kelsey Ross for a 3-0 edge. Aurora would get a 5-on-3 power-play goal from Ava Eid at 14:10 to cut the deficit to 3-1, but Ross got the goal back at 15:07 off a Grace Wittkopf assists with a shorthanded marker at 15:07.
