Forced to kill three penalties in the second, the Crimson did an excellent job of killing both of the Huskies' early opportunities before surrendering a powerplay goal at the end of the frame.
At times during the Huskies' first two powerplays, it appeared almost as though the Crimson had the man-advantage.
Botterill knotted the game 2-2 earlier in the second period off a pass from Shewchuk from behind the goal that was very similar to the overtime winner. As in the golden goal, Ingram got the other assist.

The Huskies opened the scoring at 8:54 of the first when sophomore center Brooke Whitney took advantage of a poor clearing attempt by the Crimson at the blueline.
