The Bow Valley Nationals secured a hard-fought 5-3 victory over the Jr. Rustlers in a game that featured a flurry of first-period offense and a strong defensive stand. The action started early as the Rustlers' Raya Babey opened the scoring just over four minutes in, assisted by Ava Rawlake. The Nationals responded immediately, with charleigh mcculloch tying the game just forty seconds later, set up by Khloe Parks. The Rustlers regained the lead when Addison Boulianne found the net, assisted by Harper Clark, but the Nationals' Leah Cann took over late in the period. Cann scored two goals in a span of just over three minutes, the second a power play marker assisted by Jordyn Dumont and Khloe Parks, to give Bow Valley a 3-2 lead heading into the first intermission.
The middle frame tightened up, with the Nationals extending their lead. Jordyn Dumont, who had an assist earlier, scored what would stand as the game-winning goal midway through the period, with Khloe Parks picking up her third helper of the night. The Rustlers' goaltending saw a change as Parker Fritz was relieved after the fourth goal, with Allie Hillis taking over the net. Hillis was stellar in relief, stopping 24 of 25 shots, but the damage was done. The third period saw the Nationals' Jordyn Dumont strike again for her second of the game, assisted by charleigh mcculloch, to make it 5-2. A late power play goal from the Rustlers' Addison Boulianne, her second of the contest again from Harper Clark, provided a final tally but no comeback, as the Nationals' goalie Laura Jelínková and defense held firm despite being outshot 15-5 in the final period.
The game was not without its physical edge, as both teams combined for eight minor penalties. The Rustlers' penalty kill was ultimately breached twice, which proved critical in the outcome. For the Nationals, the trio of Khloe Parks (three assists), Jordyn Dumont (two goals, one assist), and charleigh mcculloch (one goal, one assist) powered the offense, while the Rustlers' Addison Boulianne led her team with a two-goal effort. In the end, Bow Valley's efficient scoring and a strong combined goaltending performance from Jelínková, who earned the win with three goals against on 33 shots, secured the two-goal victory.
