Lindenwood 1, UND 0 — David Gagnon (Drew Kuzma, Joe Prouty) :50. Lindenwood scores on the second shift of the game as Kuzma gets to a puck in the slot before UND defenseman Ty Farmer can clear it. Kuzma gets the shot off and Gagnon puts home the rebound.
Lindenwood 2, UND 0 — Hunter Johannes (David Gagnon, Kyle Jeffers) 3:02 (pp). At the end of a power play, Johannes attempts to center a pass from the corner. UND goalie Drew DeRidder tries to break it up with his stick, but accidentally puts it in his own net.
Lindenwood 2, UND 1 — Ty Farmer (Riese Gaber, Jackson Blake) 3:49. UND quickly gets one back as Gaber leaves a pass for Farmer, who is entering the zone late. Farmer launches a shot through traffic and past goalie Trent Burnham for his first as a Fighting Hawk.
Lindenwood 3, UND 1 — Caige Sterzer (Adam Conquest) 5:19. Lindenwood forces a turnover in the neutral zone and Sterzer takes the puck up the left wing. He snaps a shot just inside the post to chase DeRidder from the game. DeRidder's final stat line: three goals allowed on six shots. Jakob Hellsten comes in to replace him.
