Jenn Gardiner opened the scoring with just seconds remaining in the first period, giving Vancouver a 1-0 lead with her third goal of the season. Right off the face-off, she fired from the left side, slipping in a low wrister inside the back post.


With 6:20 left to play in the middle frame, Jessie Eldridge put Seattle on the board to tie it 1-1, picking up her fourth goal of the season when she beat Emerance Maschmeyer after she took a stretch pass from Julia Gosling, who sent it to Eldridge from the right side along the wall after getting the puck from Anna Wilgren.


Izzy Daniel broke the tie, putting the Goldeneyes back in front 2-1 at 13:37 of the third period when she tapped in the rebound of a shot from Gardiner, who fired from above the left circle, and it bounced out where Hannah Miller grabbed it, making a quick backhanded pass to Daniel for her to put it behind Hannah Murphy for her fourth of the season. With 6:18 to go, Michelle Karvinen scored to make it 3-1 when she intercepted a pass, keeping the puck from Hilary Knight and Alex Carpenter, and Sarah Nurse picked it up and gave it to Tereza Vanisova, who drove toward the net from the right side and fired. Karvinen stuffed the rebound in between Murphy's pads in front. This was Karvinen's second goal of the season.
