Just seven minutes later, the Eagles doubled their lead and held firm for the remainder of the game. Despite trading shots late, the Gophers were unable to find the back of the net.

The Eagles outshot the Gophers 16-10, and earned one more corner (5-4) in the competition. Ale Sternini recorded two saves off the four shots on goal, while three different Gophers recorded two shots in the contest.
