Seven Juniors and one Senior team

Northernettes from Bloomington earned the silver title (131.77) and the Canadian team Gold Ice took the bronze (123.28). 

Les Pirouettes from Laval (CAN) skated to a narrow lead over the local Team Excel. Those two teams finished respectively fourth and fifth after the free skate. Synchroettes came sixth.

Twelve teams competed in the Intermediate competition. Ice Mates delivered a solid performance to earn its first gold medal of the season (58.28). This team already won Boston Classic last year!
