The Pioneers took a 2-0 lead into the intermission as Abby Lillis found the back of the net at 17:36 with Rebecca Brown and Nicole Flak getting assists on the goal.

In the second period Dahl made 15 saves before the hosts were able to find the back of the net at 14:50 on a goal by Alexa Carlon. Sloan made it 4-0 at the 14:02 mark of the third period with her third of the year before Santullo scored her second of the game and 11th of the season at 18:09.

The Monarchs had 11 shots in the game with Emma Dos Santos and Kait Wolf recording three each. Tessa Deemer had two. Josée Aitken won a team-high eight faceoffs on 21 attempts.
