The Tigers headed to the second intermission with a 2-1 lead.

The X-Women continued to press for another goal, outshooting the Tigers 13 to nine in the third period, looking for the equalizer. Their persistence paid off with Emmerson Elliott (Aurora, Ont.) finding the back of the Tigers net midway through the third. Sarah Bujold (Riverview, N.B) recorded the assist. The period ended in a 2-2 tie, sending the game into overtime.

Danika Phillips (Barrie, Ont.) scored the overtime winner for the Tigers less than four minutes into the overtime frame, giving the Tigers a 3-2 victory. The win improved the Tigers record to 3-3-0 while the X-Women recorded their first loss of the season, giving them a 4-1-0 record.
