Graduate student Maxwell Pierce led the offensive way with five goals and four assists on the day while junior long stick midfielder Noah Gibson led the way defensively with eight ground balls and an assist.

The defense made several gritty plays to get stops and turnovers, highlighted by junior defenseman Travis Jones who helped his squad earn a 5-4 advantage after one quarter of play.
 
The start of the second quarter mirrored that of the first quarter with a goal coming from junior midfielder James Walker, his first of four goals. Freshmen Cole scored his first goal of his career off an assist from Noah Walker to put the Penguins 10-8 at half time.

The final frame was a back and forth affair between the two sides with Pierce showing his clutch capabilities, burying two of his five goals in the fourth stanza.
