Waterloo opened the scoring with only seven seconds remaining in the first period as Kelly Toms (Ennismore) chipped in a forehand past the glove of Guelph goalie Brooke Siddall (Windsor, Ont.). 
 
Both teams tightened up their game before Guelph found the equalizer with only 37 seconds left in the game as Kaitlyn Mora (Guelph, Ont.) banged home a deflected point shot by Jacky Sollis (West Vancouver, B.C.) past Rebecca Bouwhuis (Orillia).
 
Emma McMillan (Hastings, ON) scored the game winner for the Warriors at 4:31 in overtime.  
 
Siddall was busy between the pipes, allowing just two goals on 33 shots. Waterloo rookie, Bowhuis earned the win with a 30 save performance.
