The Huskies, who had not beaten the Pilots since 2004, advance, 10-9, following a 1-1 tie. Out-shot 27-6, UW stays even thanks to 12 saves by Lafontaine-Kussman. She then scores in the shootout and knocks away an attempt from Jessica Tsao to clinch the result.

He has eight goals in seven games playing for the Storm following six goals in six 1989 appearances. Still, Goulet never receives a call-in from U.S. coach Bob Gansler.
