The second period was a high scoring, fast-paced affair that saw Guelph go on a four-goal tirade. Amanda Parkins (Kitchener, ON) and Jessica Pinkerton (Kitchener, ON) proved once again that they're a dangerous pair at 2:20, and combined on the power play to advance the score to 2-0.

The Gaels seemed to be building momentum in the third period after a tense few minutes in front of Guelph's net, but the Gryphons quickly thwarted their attack and continued to dominate the game. Guelph scored back-to-back goals midway through the third to secure a 7-2 win over the visiting Gaels. Parkins recorded her second of the game, combining with Pinkerton and Leigh Shilton (Belleville, ON) at 11:22 and then seconds later Pinkerton fed the puck to Grant who buried in the back of the net to round out the scoring.
