Molly Larson got the Mustangs on the board with a goal assisted by Annie Moos and Torrin Luoma at 14:05 of the opening period. Mackenna Schlieman made it 2-0 in favor of Breck at 2:21 of the middle frame.
Warroad made it a game on a Jaylie French goal, assisted by Taylor Reese and Lydia Fylling at 1:51 of the third. However, the Mustangs countered at 9:14 on an Ashley Babbit strike assisted by Taylor Hall and Schlieman at 9:14.
Warroad peppered Breck goaltender Clara Milinkovich with 38 shots, but she turned aside all but the one Warriors goal. In a last-ditch effort to pour even more offense on Milinkovich and the Mustangs defense, Warroad pulled goalie Payton Rolli — who made 19 saves — for an extra attacker.
Breck took advantage of the empty net to ice the game on a final Schlieman goal at 16:21 and rose out the final 39 seconds before players mobbed on the ice to celebrate a state title.
