The Warriors got on the board with an Abby Pohlkamp goal just :23 into the first period, but St. Cloud's Jordann Swingle tied the game with a power play goal at 7:42. Swingle's second goal of the season was assisted by Katherine Bell.

The Warriors would retake the lead with a Gabbie Smith goal late in the first period, and later increased their advantage to 3-1 with a Lindsey Booth goal at 5:35 of the second period.

St. Cloud freshman Taylor Holm scored the game-tying goal at 13:29, assisted by Taylor Mathiasen and Rud.
