Mason's second goal came when she used a Seahawk defender as a shield and fired a wrist shot to the top shelf. It's the eighth multi-goal game of her career.

Just five minutes into the second period, Hannah Tracy gave the Wildcats an insurance goal. Samantha Kawejsza kept the puck in the SRU zone, Shannon Reilly poked it to Tracy and she came in front of the goal and fired a wrist shot into the back of the net.
