NU (8-6, 6-3 CCC) would come back strong and freshman, Jake Morse, would knot the score at 1-1 with is unassisted goal at the 62:52 mark. Kieran Raney would give the Eagles the lead less than five minutes later with his goal in the 68th minute.

A little over a minute later, it would be Porras putting his penalty kick passed Daniel Christenson for the game winner.
