The Waterloo Ravens seized control early and never looked back, securing a decisive 4-1 road victory over the Brampton Canadettes. The Ravens set the tone in the first period, striking twice in quick succession. Addyson Martin opened the scoring just over five minutes in, converting a setup from Isla McCoubrey and Emma McCoubrey. Before the period was out, Emma McCoubrey turned from playmaker to scorer, finding the net herself with an assist from Madelyn Davies to give Waterloo a commanding 2-0 lead heading into the intermission.
Brampton found a spark in the second period, capitalizing on a power play to get on the board. Kristina Eccleston buried the chance, with helpers from Avery Gillespie and Molly Adams, cutting the deficit to 2-1 and giving the Canadettes life. The momentum was short-lived, however, as the Ravens' special teams answered back emphatically in the third. Just seconds after a Brampton penalty expired, Isla McCoubrey restored the two-goal cushion on the power play, assisted by Grace Collins and Maya Slot. The Ravens then put the game firmly out of reach midway through the final frame when Alexa Tout netted another power-play marker, the eventual game-winner, with Slot and Olivia Weiss picking up the assists.
The story of the game was written on special teams and in the shot totals. Waterloo went 2-for-4 on the power play, while Brampton managed just one goal on three opportunities. The Ravens also held a consistent edge in shots, outshooting the Canadettes 28-26 over the three periods. Despite a busy night facing 28 shots, Brampton's Emily Mackie was tagged with the loss, while Waterloo's Danica Averill was credited with the win in net, though detailed save statistics were not tracked for this contest. The win was a complete team effort for the Ravens, who showcased a balanced attack with seven different players recording a point to solidify their road triumph.
