With the game tied at one in the second period and the Seahawks on the power play, Roche fired a wrister from the left circle that beat Norwich goaltender Cindy Fortin high to the glove side at 13:54. The goal was Roche's third on the season and was assisted by Gabrielle Gardner.

Golden's second goal of the night at 11:35 of the third period gave the Seahawks a two-goal cushion at 3-1, and Simmons did the rest, making 15 saves in the third period to preserve the lead.

Golden opened the scoring at 5:43 of the first when she converted a pass from Jen Thiesing into her fourth goal of the season. Brown's unassisted goal at 11:15 of the first tied the game at one.

The Seahawks finished the night 2-for-4 on the power play, while Norwich failed to score on all six of its opportunities. Fortin finished the evening with 19 saves for the Cadets.
