The Mavericks (11-2-2) earn their second tie of the season, while the Yellow Jackets (6-4-2) also pick up their second tie.

Jones recorded a shot on goal in the 35th minute that was stopped by Taylor and then fired another shot on goal in the 39th minute that was stopped by a Yellow Jacket defender to keep the score at 0-0. The score remained 0-0 at halftime with Mercy holding a 7-2 edge in shots.

Serrano made three saves in the first 15 minutes of the second half to keep the game scoreless. Taylor made three more saves in the second half to keep the game scoreless at the end of regulation.

Serrano stopped one more shot in the first overtime period but neither team scored so another overtime period would be needed.
