Lindenwood 1, UND 0 — David Gagnon (Jack Anderson, Drew Kuzma) 8:48. UND is playing from behind again. It all starts with Griffin Ness releasing a dump in before getting the red line and getting an icing called. Lindenwood wins the ensuing faceoff and Gagnon snaps a point shot through traffic past goalie Jakob Hellsten.
Lindenwood 2, UND 0 — Caige Sterzer (Adam Conquest, Mitch Allard) 12:47. The Lions get another two-goal lead with another goal off a faceoff. Two UND players fall over each other in the circle and Sterzer is left all alone on top of the crease. He finishes it for his third goal of the season.
Lindenwood 2, UND 1 — Ben Strinden (Mark Senden, Ethan Frisch) 1:48. Just after a five-minute major power play expired, Frisch makes an excellent hold at the blue line and gets the puck to Senden in the left circle. Senden's shot is blocked and flutters in the air to the slot, where Strinden pounces on it and scores his second of the season.
Lindenwood 2, UND 2 — Tyler Kleven (Nick Portz, Ben Strinden) 6:11. Strinden gets his second point of the night by winning a puck battle. Portz then makes a tremendous cross-ice feed to Kleven, whose first attempt is blocked. It comes right back to him and he buries the second one. It's Kleven's third goal of the weekend.
