Jenner got the Big Red on the board first at the 6:04 mark of the
first period, being sprung on a short-handed breakaway by Rougeau
and firing a wrist shot over the shoulder of van der Bliek. Three
and a half minutes later, it was White being released on a
two-on-one from a outlet by Cudmore and beati ng the senior
netminder from Rensselaer for the 2-0 lead.
Jenner added her second of the night at the 10:52 mark of the
period, with Campbell and Fortino adding assists, and Hughes

break as Karpenko worked the puck toward the middle for White, who
laid it off to Hughes, who finished easily past a sprawling van der

Cornell capped the period by killing off a full minute's worth of
a 5-on-3 power play for Rensselaer following penalties to Jenner
and Alyssa Gagliardi, with Slebodnick stopping both of the shots
she faced on the power play. Cornell then took the 4-0 lead into
the third period, where Overguard added a power-play tally, tipping
home a shot from the center point by Rougeau. Hughes then finished
off the scoring at the 17:46 mark of the period, batting home a
shot after a wraparound chance by Karpenko.
