In the first period McKenna Brand would strike on the powerplay with 61 seconds left in the period to give the Pride the 1-0 lead. Then after a scoreless second period Emma Vlasic would come alive as she would play a factor in all four Whale goals. Starting off early in the third Vlasic would feed Tori Howran who would score her first career NWHL goal to tie the game at one. Then Vlasic would contribute on both Katelynn Russ and Alyssa Wohlfeiler’s tallies to take the two goal lead, and to cap it off Vlasic would score one of her own to give the Whale the 4-1 win over the Pride.
