Spellmire doubled the home team's advantage on another power play goal less than a minute into the second period. It was her fifth score this season and the team's first of five in the period. The official game-winning score went to freshman forward Lexi Morgan just 27 seconds after Spellmire's goal. Morgan, who was assisted by junior defenseman Caroline Campbell, now has three goals on the year. Fanning lit the lamp for the second time in the game and fifth this season at 12:52 with assists credited to freshman forward Sydney Simone and sophomore forward Amy Budde. Simone took over the team lead in points when she and freshman defenseman Amanda Boisjolie set up Campbell's third score of 2016-17 at 15:41. It was Lake Forest's third power play goal of the afternoon and 20th this season. Senior forward Isabel Regine finished off the five-goal period with her second of the year just 27 seconds later.
