With 11:10 to play in the third, Owen Armstrong would give DU a 9-2 lead.  That would be Denison's last goal as the Scots held the Big Red scoreless over the final 24 minutes of play.  Three of Wooster's final four goals would come from Matt Parmelee.

DU goalie Chris Thomas finished with eight saves while Aaron Levy finished with 10 saves for the Scots.
