The Knights were in position to win the game in regulation, but Bloomfield scored with only 34.1 left in the third period.

They had a ton of pressure in front of ULS senior goalie Evie Bournias and were able to poke the puck into the back of the net.

In the opening period, freshman Bella Standish scored a power-play goal, and in the second period it was senior Anika Vreeken scoring. Bloomfield scored its first goal in the first
