Both teams together made 49 points in the third, with the Lakers still on top with 54-41 at the end.

And then the fourth quarter saw Algoma catch up to Nipissing after outscoring the team 18-10 but it still wasn’t enough to secure them the win.

18 points for Claire Abbott was the lead for the game, Alexe Galipeau-Wilson walked away with 1, and Michaela Branker picked up nine points in the win.
