The first nine minutes of the third quarter were uneventful, until Landry Elliott added another goal to the IWU total. Molly Heidrick and Maisie Arlotto each found the back of the net shortly after, making it 15-2 heading into the fourth. 

Each team scored three times in the fourth, including man up goals for Izzy Parker and Hannah Trousdale. The final tally was 18-5 in favor of the Lynx.
