The Cougars outshot Potsdam 10-8 in the first period and scored the only goal. Junior forward Jenny Jones (Kernersville, N.C./Anaheim Lady Ducks) scored at 5:16 to give Chatham the lead for good.

The Bears killed off a penalty early in the second before going on consecutive power plays of their own. However, Chatham sophomore goalie Sydney Isbell (Thunder Bay, Ontario/Thunder Bay Queens) turned away all eight chances. The score remained 1-0 after 40 minutes.

At the 8:19 mark of the third period freshman forward Kristina Block (Scarborough, Maine/North Yarmouth Academy) scored the eventual game-winner. Potsdam turned up the pressure after the goal, outshooting the Cougars 15-5 in the period. Ott finally solved Isbell at 10:18 with an assist from senior forward Alison Greene (Massena, N.Y./Norwich University) to close the gap to 2-1. Tardelli was pulled with 1:21 remaining, but the Bears couldn't get the equalizer.

Isbell stopped 30 shots to earn the win. Chatham was 0-for-1 on the man advantage and Potsdam was 0-for-4.

Potsdam wraps up the season next Saturday when the Bears host No. 1 Plattsburgh at 3 p.m.
