Sydney Smith earned the win between the pipes with 12 saves.

 

It was a tied game, 4-4, at half-time.

 

Wahconah took the lead with 17 minutes, 7 seconds left when Emma Adams scored unassisted. Catie Ronayne followed with a goal to give the visitors a two-goal cushion, 8-6, with 14:43 on the clock. The Terriers could not get closer than within a goal the rest of the way.
