In the 15 minutes the best Storm could manage was to double the lead, but they were unable to pull further in front and three minutes before half-time Mavericks rallied and converted a turn-over to help them get within one at half-time.
Game-winning changes were made at half time by Mavericks boss Maggie Jackson, though, as Brownfield came out to GA and Vicklyn Joseph took up position under the post, Layla Guscoth and Lindsay Keable also swapped duties in the defensive circle.
From that point Storm could not touch the Hertfordshire outfit as they levelled before moving six goals ahead.
Surrey's skipper Tamsin Greenway called a medical tine-out and, after treatment, used the opportunity to swap bibs with Gemma Cosentino, allowing her to move into the shooting-circle.
The game restarted and within a minute Storm had closed the gap by two goals before Surrey's Natalie Seaton was forced off with a severely dislocated finger.
Fran Desmond took her place, but the Mavericks stepped on the accelerator again and surged ahead into a seven-goal advantage although Storm did make the most of the final seconds of the quarter to cut the deficit to four.
But it was the Mavericks who finished much the stronger as the final whistle loomed into view.
With eight minutes to play Storm were still in the game trailing 45-42, but their opponents stepped up a gear and, perhaps with the memories of previous Grand Finals defeats spurring them on, pulled away in the closing stages to complete an ultimately emphatic win by an 11-goal margin.
