Both teams continued to trade shots in the second stanza until the 70th minute, when Courtney Hill found the back of the net on a cross from Sydney Costa. Thomas would look for an answer, but could not get a quality shot on net to be the equalizer.
Kate Thibodeau made six saves on seven shots, while her counterpart Poulin finished the game with five saves on five shots.
Husson had a 15-7 advantage in shots in the victory, while holding a 10-2 edge in corner kicks.
