With three minutes to play in the opening period, Karina Sirabian took a shot from the low slot through traffic, collecting the puck off a quick rebound, but sent her bid wide left.

Hamilton had another promising look to open the second as Missy Segall tried to finish off a give and go to the left post.

Julia Surgenor made a move around a Continental defender seven minutes into the period, wristing a shot towards Sam Walther, who made a stick save.

Midway through the final frame, Marissa Fichter started with the puck behind Bowdoin’s net and carried up the ice into Hamilton territory. Fichter fired a shot on net and Julie Dachille made the second effort, but Walther turned both shots away.

In the final seconds of a power play, Tala Glass directed a shot from the left point. Dachille tipped the puck as it came through the crease and deflected in to Walther.

St. Denis made 19 saves for the Polar Bears. Walther made 27 stops for Hamilton.
