The Blugolds’ final goal came with just over a minute left to play as Emily Haluska (So.-Stevens Point, Wis./SPASH) scored at 18:50 in the third period. Eau Claire dominated the shot chart, outshooting the Lions 36-6. In the second period alone, the Blugolds finished with 19 shots to Finlandia’s one.
