An offensive surge in the third period, during which the team scored three times in the final 10 minutes, allowed Ann-Renée Desbiens to earn the shutout.
Captain Marie-Philip Poulin received the Ilana Kloss Trophy, awarded to the playoffs’ most valuable player. She finished her post-season run with eight points, tying for the most points in a single year in league history.
Forward Abby Roque scored two goals for the Victoire and finished the playoffs tied with Poulin at the top of the scoring leaderboard.
