The Northland attack was able to outshoot the Cougars 8-4 in the half. Freshman Tjaden Whisenhunt made his second career start in net and tallied three saves in the half. Kellen Richardson picked up his first career goal on a free kick just outside the box as time was winding down in the first half to give Northland the 2-0 advantage at the intermission.

The second half saw Northland get a few more players get some game action as the regulars were rested. Freshman Aidan Moore got in to his first collegiate game in net. He was not tested with a shot on goal as the Northland defense held the Cougars to just three shots in the half. None of the shots were on frame. Nolan Melek extended the lead for the Jacks with his first collegiate goal in the 82nd minute.
