Just over two minutes later Lily Anderson found the net for Endicott's second goal of the day. The Seahawks fought to gain control of the puck but the Gulls succeeded in keeping the action in their attack zone. The second period also swayed in the Gulls' favor when Emmerson Hayes and Rivers Morris brought the score to 4-0. However, with five seconds left in the second period the Seahawks made sure the day would not result in a shutout. Gina Richard (from Riley Esposito and Emma Pereira) slapped the puck past Casey Moritz, at goal for the Gulls, making it a 4-1 contest going into the final intermission. To start of the third period, Endicott's Teaghan Hall snuck behind the Seahawks' goal, and with a pass to center ice Quin Healy made it a 5-1 game. When the buzzer sounded the Gulls' speed of play got the better of Salve Regina for a 5-1 final score.
