The Otters received outstanding goaltending from senior Jadyn McKeever who stopped 32 shots, sixteen of them in a scoreless third period. 

Alexandria scored the first goal of the night at 8:23 of the opening period when McKenna Ellingson scored from Riley Nyberg. 

An even strength goal by Marilyn Karsnia at 1:51 of the second period tied the game. Maddie Hulter assisted on the goal. Ellie Andersen scored both power play goals for the Otters, the first at 5:39 was assisted by Chloe Nelson and the second at 9:58 was setup by Hallie Sheridan and Sophie Rausch. 

"It was their time, the leadership took over," said Head Coach Tim Lill of the Otters.  "All I had to do was watch."
