HOW IT HAPPENED
- MSOE (12–5, 8-3 NACC) and CUW (16-1, 10-1 NACC) traded goals to open the game, with the Falcons opening the scoring before Dawson Smith tallied the first Raider goal of the evening to tie things up at 1-1 less than four minutes into the contest. The rest of the first quarter would remain scoreless, with the Falcons coming alive in the second frame, tallying four answered goals before Andrew Toman ended the CUW run after an assist from Case Roberts, with the Raiders trailing 6-2 at the break.
- Coming out of halftime, the Raiders would be outscored by the Falcons in a low-scoring third quarter as the Red and White trailed 9-3 heading to the final frame of the regular season.
