The Whitecaps cut into the deficit on a backhander from Amy Menke, who threaded the puck through the pads of sophomore goaltender Chloe Crosby at 16:05. Minnesota State junior forward Jordan McLaughlin tallied on a breakaway at 19:15 for a shorthanded goal and the Mavericks entered the locker room at the end of two periods of play owning a 4-1 lead.
