Lethbridge got some great chances early. Courtney Minor's shot through traffic looked good but Post followed it and made the stop.
 
Alberta's Lindsay Cunningham's shot from in close was skillfully turned aside by Patterson but a delayed Lethbridge penalty gave the Pandas a golden chance with an extra attacker. Althiem secured the puck quickly and managed to get the puck past the unsuspecting keeper, low stick side, giving her team an early lead.
 
Glenda Edie made a heads up play at centre ice and went hard into the Panda's zone but her hard wrister hit Post and deflected wide.

Looking for her second of the night, Altheim fired a shot on net but her effort was confidently turned aside.
 
Looking to bounce back in the third, the Horns offensive was fired up and Spence got a piece of Sabourin's hard shot from the point and redirected it in, cutting the Panda's lead in half midway through the third frame.
 
Patterson came to the bench to give the Horns an extra attacker with two minutes remaining but a turnover allowed Froehler to add an empty netter for the Pandas.
