Despite being outshot in the first period, the Otters took an early 2-0 lead with two quick, unassisted goals just 19 seconds apart.  First, Averie Tonneson outskated the competition from Defense to light the lamp for the Otters.  Evelyn Wedll followed suit by scoring on her own setup for the second goal.  Shortly thereafter, the Stampede halved the gap to one to close the first period.

Where the first period saw lots of action by the net, the second saw the penalty boxes in use, with some great physical hockey from both teams.  No goals were scored by either roster, and shots on goal were nearly identical from both sides of the ice.

In the third, West Fargo started early to tie the game, scoring in the first two minutes.  After some back and forth, they scored again at the 6 minute mark to take the lead.  Despite a great final effort and a pulled goalie, the Otters came up just short of sending the match to overtime. 

Fergus Falls goalies Olivia Jurgens and Ella Sem combined for 26 saves in matchup, which ended with a final score of 3 to 2.
