The first period saw an electric start with an electric crowd and the two seemed to feed off of each other. Tsongas was showing itself sold out with SRO as a testy atmosphere for women's hockey. The early going saw very few whistles and plenty of opportunities on each side of the ice. While there was a matching minor called a lot of physicality was let go and the period ended without a score.
The second period saw a very long review early for a possible major to Kaleigh Fratkin but eventually it was deemed there was no penalty on the play.
