In the 36th minute, Harper finished her fourth goal of the season off assists from Boman and Birdsell. Minnesota went into the locker room with a 1-0 lead.
Milwaukee leveled the game in the 59th minute. A Panther drew a foul in the box and converted the penalty kick for a goal.

With 12 minutes left the Panthers scored an upper 90 shot. It wouldn't be enough as Harper finished her second hat trick of the season thanks to an assist from Kalal.
