• The Purple Knights evened the score at one apiece at the 6:30 mark in the third when Alissa Sullivan ripped a shot from the blue line that was saved, but bounced out near the right post to Holly Sullivan, who backhanded it in.

• The Purple and Gold made it 3-1 with 33 seconds remaining on an empty-net, power-play goal as Boscia picked up the puck in the neutral zone, made one move around a defender near the red line, then another near the blue line before roofing a shot into the empty net.
