Ziaja scored his first of the match in the 51st minute, with sophomore Ethan Dietrich picking up the assist. In the 71st minute, Ziaja netted his fourth of the season after deflecting a shot attempt by Williams, who was credited with an assist.

In net, sophomore Seth Aiken improved to 5-0-4 on the year while tallying one save.
