Almost half way through the period, the Gryphons found themselves with a one-man advantage for the second time, and proved why they are a dangerous team on the power play.  Ryerson goaltender, Brianna Tremblay was unable to handle the Gryphon attack, surrendering to Jenna Lanzoratta (Mississauga, Ont.) at 10:14 in the period to advance to a 2-0 lead. Only five minute later the Gryphons scored their third straight power play goal.

Hilary Walsh  (Nepean, Ont.) scored an unassisted goal at 7:26 to earn her first goal of the season.  The Gryphons took a 5-1 lead following a short handed goal from Amanda Parkins (Kitchener, Ont.). By the end of the second period the Gryphons had taken a 20-12 advantage on shots on net.
 
Early in the third period, Kimberley Wong (Mississauga, Ont.) combined with Parkins and Christine Grant and fired a shot from the blue line to score the team's sixth goal of the evening while on the power play. The Rams had an opportunity to close the gap while on the power play in the third period but the Gryphons stymied their  plans and continued to control the game.  The Gryphons outshot the Rams 28-18.
