Addison Taylert also contributed to LVC's defensive efforts, blocking a shot 13:10 into the second. 

The Flying Dutchmen scored their third goal of the second period at the 13:36 mark, making it a 4-0 game on Anderson's second goal after assists by Taylert and Yorke. Lebanon Valley was also productive defensively during the rest of the second frame, keeping the opposition scoreless. The Hawks began a power play in the 19^th minute and took five shots on goal in the last minute of the period, which resulted in five saves by Bigelow. 

Hilbert created some offensive opportunities early in the third period, but Bigelow came through with a pair of saves within four seconds during the opening minute. Lebanon Valley resumed the scoring 1:37 into the third, going ahead 5-0 on a goal by Maeghan Howson with an assist from Campanile.
