Freshman Quinn Erdmann led the offense with two goals and two assists while sophomore Collin Fischer also scored a pair of goals. Seniors Clay Gustafson and Thomas Reid also scored in the game.

CUW opened scored three goals to open the game, striking for the opener just 47 seconds into the game and taking a 3-0 lead at the 9:30 mark.
