After trading shots through the first 29 minutes, the Ducks gained the first half lead with Alvarez's goal in the 30th. Off a feed from senior Erin Silvestri, Alvarez fired the ball off the goalie's feet into the cage for the score. 

The goal was Alvarez's ninth of the season, while the assist was Silvestri's second.

The junior followed-suit six minutes later with another off junior Taylor Welch's corner, putting the Ducks up two with 10 minutes to play.
