The teams would be evenly matched for the remainder of the period, as they would go into the first intermission tied up at 0-0.

The Saints struck again early in the third to widen their lead over the Jills to 2-0. They would add an insurance goal before the end of the period, to go up 3-0. The Jills continued to attack the net throughout the period, but couldn't get any shots to land. They fell by a final score of 3-0.
