A back-and-forth affair early,
Alexandra Alers (Buena Park, Calif./Kennedy) used a front headlock in the final moments of the first period to jump in front 5-4. With no scoring in the first two minutes of the final period, Alers used a throw-by to gain some crucial insurance points on the way to a 7-4 decision.
