Boston came out on the wrong foot with a sloppy start. An early turnover deep in their own zone set Sarah Fillier up to open the scoring barely two minutes into the first. A mere few minutes later underutilized Loren Gabel stepped up and sniped home an equalizer. New York would have much of the run of play the rest oof the period and retook the lead in the final minute of the period on a rebound shoot Jesse Eldridge put home.
The second was a quieter period where neither team was able to doo too much. New York took two penalties, one a too many skaters minor and the other a minor for cross checking.
