Just 1:31 into the second frame Jamie Mey (Middletown, RI) extended the Pioneer lead with her second goal of the season. Whitney Dziama posted her eighth goal of the year later in the second period with an assist from Gina Arnone (Bridgewater, NJ) to bring the SHU lead to 4-1 at the second intermission.
Taryn Lapierre (Oakland, RI) scored the only goal of the third stanza as Kate Dunlop (Flesherton, ON) and Kristina Feltz (Edison, NJ) each earned an assist. Sacred Heart held Oswego to 0-5 on the power play and the Pioneers capitalized once in four opportunities with the extra skater.
