Colgate out-shot RIT, 31-19. The Raiders were 1-for-9 with the power-play, while RIT was 1-for-4.

After a scoreless first 20 minutes, RIT grabbed the lead just six minutes into the second period on a power play.  The Tigers broke out of their own zone creating a scoring chance at the 6:26 mark. #Celeste Brown (Great Falls, MT/National Sports Academy)# played the puck off the boards and found Hubert. Her wrist shot hit the crossbar and bounced in, giving them the 1-0 lead. #Lindsay Grigg (Oakville, Ontario/Oakville Hornets)# was also awarded an assist on the play. 

Grigg now has a four-game point-scoring streak.

Less than three minutes later the Raiders equalized off a goal by Gass. Colgate was on the power play when Rachel Walsh passed to Megan Wickens from the corner. Wickens was waiting at the point and she went back and forth with Gass before they finally found an opening at net. Gass's hard shot sailed in past Chamberlain who was screened by Taulor Craig.

Colgate continued with high pressure on the Tigers, earning golden scoring opportunities in the last five minutes of the period. The Raiders chances came after Stephanie Giannopoulous' shot hit off the crossbar. A few minutes later Volpe had another shot saved. Colgate thought they had grabbed the lead when Wickens took a slap shot from the top of circle but yet again Chamberlain came up with the save. Volpe couldn't put in the rebound on Chamberlain who had fallen to the ground making the previous save.

Katie Case almost secured the win when she played Volpe in for another breakaway opportunity. This time Chamberlain was able to stop the puck before it went in with less than three minutes to play in the game.
