The Manitoba Mavericks and Phantoms Female Hockey delivered a nail-biting contest that required extra time to decide, with the home side emerging victorious 3-2. The Phantoms struck first, silencing the home crowd early as Micah Franko found the back of the net just 49 seconds into the game. The Mavericks, however, weathered an 8-2 shot disadvantage in the opening frame and found their footing in the second. Emma Baydock leveled the score midway through the period, assisted by Scarlet Tourangeau and Kaylynn Beattie. Just over nine minutes later, Espérance Halaburda gave Manitoba its first lead, converting a feed from Baydock to make it 2-1 heading into the final period.
The third period saw the Phantoms fight back with increased pressure, outshooting the Mavericks 8-3. Their persistence paid off on the power play after a major penalty to Manitoba's Alexis Cascisa-Fisher for boarding. With the extended advantage, Quinn Olszewski buried a goal, assisted by Natalie Evans and Taylee Mason, to tie the game at 2-2. The period featured more special teams play with minors to the Phantoms' Elianna Holovach and Natalie Evans, but neither team could break the deadlock in regulation. The game required a fourth period, where just one minute into overtime, Scarlet Tourangeau became the hero, scoring the game-winning goal to secure the dramatic victory for the Mavericks.
In the crease, both goalies were busy. The Phantoms' Eden Vols faced 17 shots and made several key saves to force overtime, while the Mavericks' Evangeline Golding was credited with the win, turning away 18 of 20 shots to backstop her team. The game was a physical affair, with penalties playing a crucial role, particularly the major infraction that led to the Phantoms' tying power-play goal. In the end, Scarlet Tourangeau's overtime heroics capped a resilient team effort by the Manitoba Mavericks.
