Despite being outshot 12-4 the Mustangs would hold Laurier to a single goal lead.
 
The ice tilted in Western's way in the third period as the Mustangs peppered Laurier goalie Erika Thunder of Buffalo Point, Man., with 18 shots. Late in the period, Michelle Saunders of Oakville, Ont., would find the tying goal as she beat Thunder for her first of the season to send the game to overtime.
