RIT put the game away with four goals from four different players in the opening 4:49 in the third period and followed with goals from sophomores Sarah Dagg and Kylie Mazzetta, who each scored twice in the period en route to registering hat tricks apiece for the game. The Tigers outshot the Lakers 24-1 for the period and 55-14 for the game.
