The Lumberjacks and Eden Prairie Eagles battled to a 3-3 tie in Eden Prairie, November 19, 2010. The teams combined for 4 goals in the first 4:12 of the game. Eden Prairie's Karissa Olsen started the scoring 27 seconds in, and Callie Halverson answered that goal at 2:43. The Eagles again took the lead, at 3:59 on a goal by Bizzy Schmelzle, that was answered just 13 seconds later by a Kalie Shevich goal as she rushed the net and stuffed the puck past goaltender McKenzie Johnson to knot the game at 2. At 6:55 of the second, Halverson ripped a slapshot past Johnson, 10 seconds into a powerplay, to give the 'Jacks the lead 3-2. That lead held until 4:29 of the third period, as Schmelzle scored again, tying the game at 3. Both teams had shots to win in overtime, with the best 'Jacks chance going off the goaltender, or crossbar just before the overtime buzzer sounded. Alyssa Acheson played strong in net for the 'Jacks, taking the tie.
