With 1 minute left on the clock and a 6-on-5 advantage, McClafferty scored her second goal of the game, putting Oxy up 8-7.

The Tigers converted 6 of 9 power plays. Katie Gibbs drew four exclusions and Albino drew three.

Oxy trailed 4-3 at half before going on a run at the beginning of the second half to take the lead.

"We made a few mistakes early on and they took advantage," Oxy head coach Larry Zubrin said. "But the team regrouped and we made a few adjustments with our offense that resulted in more production."

Kelsey Shyba, Lizzy Kosin and Gibbs each scored a goal.

Geneva Perez made 12 saves, including several key blocks in the fourth quarter to hold off the Panthers.
