The Inferno (0-1) put three shots on frame in the half, but were unable to find the back of the net.
The second period didn't fare much better for Alverno, despite more than twice as many shots, as Crown added three more tallies in the half.
Annie Davison led the Inferno with three shots, including two on goal, while Dah Dah Poe and Sydney Wisner had two apiece.
