Kelly Fladebo (Mora, MN, Cambridge-Isanti Mora) and junior forward
Holly Reinking (Maple Grove, MN, Elk River), who each collected two shots on goal.
Sophomore goalie
Lauren Herzog (Mendota Heights, MN, Convent of the Visitation) started in the net for the Blazers collecting 26 overall saves for the team including a shutout first period during which Herzog stopped all 10 shots that came her way.
