Game Report
The Power dominated play in the first half with five shots in the first ten minutes, and they were up two goals within twenty minutes.
Lalor was forced to leave the game in the 40th minute after Shannon MacMillan rocketed aq shot off her lefttemple. Lalor did not return to the game and was being checked for a possible concussion.

Due to the injury to Lalor, the Power made changes to start the second half. Coach Pat Farmer replaced Lalor with Emily Stauffer, and midfielder Ronnie Fair with Wynne McIntosh.
The Spirit came out fast in the second half as Lori Lindsey, who entered the game at the half, connected with MacMillan to score Spirit's only goal in the 47th minute.
