The lone goal of the game came at 5:01 of the first overtime period as Jackie Short scored her sixth goal of the season to send Kalamazoo home with the win.

Leading the way for the Thunder were sophomore Kristen Elliot (Wooster, Ohio/Wooster) and Freshmen Morgan Baldwin (Amanda, Ohio/Amanda-Clearcreek) and Melissa Smiles (Davisburg, Mich./Holly) with two shots each.
