- The Red and White continued to fire away with Emma Barrabee, Ava Cefaloni, Mckenna Gross, Ivana Vukas and Anderson all letting shot go towards Oliphant forcing two more saves to keep it scoreless.
- Reigning Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week Pico Gray was only called upon one time denying Megan Kurian in the 31st.

- The quartet Joelle Ma, Arnold, Bitsko and Gross each forced a save out of Oliphant between minutes 60 and 70.
