HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Mustangs picked up a power play goal of their own just four minutes later.  A point shot was deflected in front of the net, hit the post and came to rest in the crease.  Allie Davidson pounced on the rebound and snuck one past senior Sirena Alvarez to tie the game at two.
• Both goalies came up with several big saves in the third period.  With just over five minutes remaining, freshman Jayme McIlveen was able to break loose and get a shot on Jones.  Lalonde was there for the rebound and tucked in the game-winner at 14:48 of the third.
