After the Bulldogs' third goal, Kuusisto was pulled in favor of freshman goaltender Jessica Ruddock. Harvard then closed the gap to 3-1 when sophomore forward Kalen Ingram tallied with 1:50 left in the first.
Ruddock did not fare much better than Kuusisto, however, allowing a goal from UMD sophomore defenseman Nevada Russell 45 seconds into the second period that made the game 4-1.
The Crimson once again cut into the lead when sophomore defenseman Jamie Hagerman scored on the power play, beating Bulldog goaltender Tuula Puputti to make the score 4-2.
Harvard would get no closer, as Rooth netted her second goal of the game late in the second period for the 5-2 UMD lead.

UMD claimed the game in exciting fashion, scoring the game-winning goal with 28 seconds left in the final period.
Sophomore forward Joanne Eustace, who had already netted the game-tying goal, received a pass from Sikio and shot it past Ruddock to give the Bulldogs the 4-3 victory.
