Ona Mezenberg, Owen Sound, managed the only tally in that game. Game two against Ohio State was decidedly different with the Lightning besting the opposition 5- 0. The shutout went to Sarah McGall, Owen Sound. Laura Irwin, Point Clark, opened the scoring with Lindsey Ceaser, Owen Sound, and Mezenberg each contributing singles.
