With 4:26 remaining in the second period, Wihelmsson skated passed the Ephs defender to net her first goal of the night and put the shorthanded Trinity foursome up, 1-0. The senior received the puck from Jelani Adorno  (Tariffville, Conn.) after Jenny Guider (Ridgefield, Conn.) sent it across the ice to set up the eventual game-winning goal. Williams had seven chances to even the score but Leclair denied every opportunity for the tie.
