Hugo Gonzalez scored to in the 25th minute to put Dakota Wesleyan on top.  The score remained the same until the 65th minute, when Eric Moller added an insurance goal for the Tigers.  Eric Christianson was credited with the assist on DWU’s second goal of the game.  

Each team finished with 12 shots in the contest, but Concordia managed just four shots on goal.  Brendan Buchanan (Broomfield, Colo.) made five saves but suffered the loss in net for the Bulldogs.  Jordan Werner made four saves and picked up the shutout for Dakota Wesleyan.
