Conn continued their strong play to open the middle frame, hemming JWU in the defensive zone. The Camels final opened the scoring at 7:41, when Kiley Smith (Marion, Mass.) fed a pass to the slot, connecting with Casey Chesner (Great Falls, Va.), who one-timed the shot through Leah White to make it 1-0.

Once again the Camels started quickly, forcing seven saves from White in the opening five and a half minutes. Midway through the period, with the teams playing four-on-four, Zoe Tow got a breakaway, beating Wexler, who got a glove on it, to tie the game at one at 10:57.
