Period two was full of goals as CSS would get on the board first just 3:29 into the period with a power play goal from Gina Dodge (Duluth, Minn./Duluth East HS (Minn.-Duluth)).  Michelle Fischer (St. Paul, Minn./Cretin-Derham Hall) and Nina Waidacher (Arosa, Switzerland/Wirtschaftschule KV Chur (ZSC Lions/Swiss U18 National)) would assist on the goal.  The Saints would score just 16 seconds later as Briget Cojocar (Limerick, Saskatchewan/Lafleche HS (Melville Prairie Fire)) would score an even-strength goal with assists going to Cara McMannis (Holland, Manitoba/Treherne Collegiate Institute (Pembina Valley Hawks)) and Alex Blair (Drake, Saskatchewan/Lanigan Central HS).

The Saints scoring attack was not done as just 17 seconds after Cojocar's goal, Kaitlin Johnston (Lake Elmo, Minn./Stillwater HS) would tally her own even-strength goal with assists going to Jordan Klimek and Monika Waidacher (Arosa, Switzerland/Wirtschaftsschule KV Chur (Swiss National Team)).  Marian would finally get on the scoreboard at the 7:54 mark with a goal by Brittany Syms.
