The teams spent the final 10 minutes trying to outscore one another and combined for 17 goals on the evening. Fortunately, Middlebury had plenty left in the tank and ended up with the lion's share of goals. A few days later, the team was looking forward to a show-down between two All-Americans when Northeastern arrived in town.
A week later the team took a trip to the capital district for a pair of games, finally opening their season against Union. Middlebury played well in the game but there was a distinct lack of teamwork that hamstrung their efforts to score.

Middlebury was the first Division II or III college to found a women's team, playing its inaugural season in 1981. The other Vermont schools were slower on the uptake but by 2006 each of them was sporting a women's program as well. With so much college hockey going on in the state, eventually the sport spilled over into different branches.
Aside from it being the first time Middlebury had lost consecutive games since 1924, the defense, which had usually been the team's strength failed in the third period. Makela and Crocker gave the Panthers two 1-goal leads in the first but neither lasted for very long. After a scoreless second, the home team completely dominated play in the third.
