The Yellowjackets scored two quick goals to jump out to an early 2-0 lead, just over five minutes into the game.
Midway through the first period Josie Johnson (Waunakee, WI/Waunakee) cut the Pointers deficit in half, 2-1, as she scored off the stick of Michelle Lunneborg (Richfield, MN/Richfield).
Brooke Hanson (Maple Grove, MN/Maple Grove) knotted the game at 2-2 midway through the second period as she deflected a shot off the stick of Johnson and into the net.
Less than five minutes later UW-Superior took advantage of a UWSP penalty to take the 3-2 advantage into the third period.
After the Yellowjackets netted their fourth goal of the contest, the Pointers pulled goalie Hillary Drake (Mosinee, WI/Mosinee) to skate an extra attacker. Shortly after UW-Superior broke free from defenders to score the empty net goal and seal the 5-2 victory.
Janna Beilke-Skoug (Madison WI/East) and Drake split time in the net, combining for 24 saves. Megan Leikkari recorded the win in goal for Yellowjackets, tallying 33 saves.
