Senior goalie Rachael  Farmer (Grand Island/Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles) made 22 saves.

After a scoreless first period, King gave the Red Dragons the lead at 4:54 of the second period when she stole the puck near the end line and beat Farmer one-on-one in front. Schnorr made it a 2-0 score at 13:20 of the second on a one-time shot from the left side off a feed from DeVoe.
