The two teams picked up the tempo in the second period after playing to a scoreless draw in the first. Kaylin Garner ended the stalemate for Johnson & Wales, putting in a rebound at the 11:43 mark of the second period. However, Salem State responded with two quick goals to take a 2-1 lead. Carolyn Mahoney converted on a Vikings' power-play before Makayla McGrath stole a pass deep in the Wildcats' zone and angled a shot between the crossbar and back of netminder Sofia Tamayo. 
 
Cecelia Curtin made it 3-1 in favor of Salem State early in the third as she slipped a puck through the legs of Tamayo.  Catherine Lawrence put Salem State up by three goals as her shot deflected off of a Johnson & Wales defender and into the back of the net. Allyson Barry cut the lead in half with a score for the Wildcats at the 12:45 of the third to jumpstart the Johnson & Wales comeback. Haylee Owen then made it a one-goal game at 17:23 of the final period.
