The second-period consisted of much of the same defensive play, as both teams continued to struggle to find shot attempts.

As a result, the second-period ended with the Lady Lions in front by a score of 1-0.
 
Defense continued to prevail late into the third-period as Lindenwood held the 1-0 lead. The Nittany Lions pulled their goalie, Hanna Ehresmann with 1:28 remaining in the final period in favor of an extra attacker. Lady Lion goaltender, Nicole Hensley was ready for the challenge, as she turned in 11 saves during the third-period. When time expired, the scoreboard read 1-0 in favor of Lindenwood. Hensley would finish the game with 23 saves en route to her second shutout of the season, and seventh victory. The shutout was the fourth time she has blanked an opponent during her career. 
 
Following her first-period goal, Jasper continued her ascent in the Lindenwood record books. Jasper tied the single-season program record for goals scored, and also broke the career game-winning goal total with her sixth.
 
Penn State would hold the advantage in shots 23-15. Lindenwood was led in the shot category by five separate skaters, each recording two shots on goal. The Lady Lions held a narrow edge in the faceoff circle, winning 24 of the 47 draws. Shannon Morris-Reade led the way for Lindenwood winning eight faceoffs.
