Michelle Rebeck (St. Andrews, Manitoba/Balmoral Hall) had the assist. Then with 4:10 left in regulation, Monika Waidacher (Arosa, Switzerland/Wirtschaftsschule KV Chur (Swiss National Team)) netted the game-winner with another assist from Rebeck to make the final score 2-1.

Teraysa White (Belgrade, Maine/Brewster Academy (New England College)) was outstanding in net once again for the Saints, stopping 32 shots to help CSS advance. Stacey Dierking had 28 saves in the loss for the Foresters. The loss for Lake Forest marked the first time this season they had lost when leading after two periods. (12-0-3).
