HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Raiders (5-5, 1-1 NACC) led the Cardinals (8-1) after a low scoring first quarter, as Brooks McInerney scored the first MSOE goal unassisted at the 9:41 mark to tie things up, before Andrew Toman broke the stalemate off a feed from Ethan Marasco to give the Raiders a 2-1 lead.
- North Central would score six unanswered goals in the second quarter to take a 7-2 lead into the halftime break. The Cardinals would outshoot the Raiders 32-14 in the first half, while the Raiders committed 11 turnovers, including seven in a sloppy second quarter.
- The Raiders would trail 10-2 in the third quarter, before Soren Savard added two goals nearly a minute apart to bring the Raider deficit to six at 10-4.
