While the Lynx got off to a sluggish scoring start they quickly answered after the Royals goal with a Lynx goal just three minutes later. Kennedy Brislin scored on a penalty stroke, as she connected into the upper left corner of the cage. Rhodes' Kate Taylor got the game winner for the Lynx as she put away a slap shot on the right side of the cage off a penalty corner making the final count 2-1.
 
Whelan saw all 70 minutes in the net for the Lynx, grabbing one save in the outing.
 
The Lynx outshot the Royals by a count of 19-6 and were also awarded more penalty corners, 13-5.
