The two teams traded goals to open the third as Wiesenthal netted her first of the day to keep the lead at three up 7-4.  The Sagehens then went on another run of goals with four-straight from Lewis, Jachung, Smith and Amberger to take a commanding 11-4 lead.  The Leopards ended the third with a goal, but the Sagehens still led comfortably at 11-5.
