In a back-and-forth first half, the Jackrabbits held a 4-3 edge in shots, but neither team was able to find the back of the net. Both the Jackrabbits and Fighting Hawks had one shot on goal in the frame.

Brooker posted a trio of shots in the second half, but all missed high as the teams headed into extra time scoreless.

North Dakota's Mara Yapello recorded a shot on target in the 90^th minute, but Tanner got the save. In the 93^rd minute of action, Brooker looked to give the Jackrabbits the win as she sent a shot to the bottom center of the goal, but UND's Madi Livingston was there for the save.
