The Catamounts regained the lead on DeGroot's second goal of the afternoon in the 76th minute.

Luise Reinwald knotted the score once again on her first goal as she beat the Vermont goaltender low right off a feed from Kristina Kelly.

Jus 16-seconds later, Pinette would tally the eventual game-winner as Kelly tallied her second assist of the season on the goal in the 87th minute.
