The first period started with end-to-end action between the Voyageurs and the Gryphons. Both teams seemed to be struggling to get past the opposing defenders, but the Gryphons were able to more pressure on the Voyageurs as the period progressed. Laurentian would get the first power play of the game after a hooking call on Leigh Shilton at 10:35. The power play would be short lived after Voyageur player Lindsey Brazill (Bowmanville, Ont.) was called for tripping at 11:47. When Shilton's penalty ended, the Gryphons were able to take advantage of the extra man on the ice with an across the crease goal from Kimberley Wong to Averi Nooren at 13:08 on the power play to make it 1-0 for Guelph, with Emily Corbett also on the assist.
 
The Gryphons would score again after a pass from Kelly Gribbons to Katie Mora (Guelph, Ont.) at the blue line would have Mora dodging opposing defenders and beating the goalie with a shot to the top right corner of the net, making it 2-0 for Guelph at 16:53 in the first period.
 
The Gryphons had the first power play of the second period after a tripping call on Laurentian player Lauren Langille (Sudbury, Ont.) at 6:34. The Gryphons put a lot of pressure on the Laurentian defenders, shooting five times on their power play. A turnover had Laurentian clearing the puck and the Gryphons were unable to set up in front of the net again, leaving the score at 2-0.
 
Leigh Shilton was called for hooking at 13:02 later on in the second period but the Gryphons were able to kill the penalty, not allowing the Voyageurs to shoot on goal at all. The Voyageurs were able to get one more shot off in their next power play at 18:23 after a call on Michelle Sabourin for boarding. Laurentian was able to get one shot off, but would remain scoreless in the second period.
