Both teams finished the first half with four shot attempts but none were on frame.
 
The Golden Bears broke through in the 54^th minute on a goal from inside the box from Emily Boyer. Concordia-St. Paul put the game away with a pair of goals less than two minutes apart in the 80^th and 82^nd minutes of play.
 
The Marauders (3-5-1 / 2-4-1 NSIC) were limited to nine shots in the game and just one on goal, which came in the final minute of play in the game. The Golden Bears (6-1-2 / 3-1-2) posted 11 shots with three on frame.
