First period
Quinnipiac 1, UND 0 — Wyatt Bongiovanni (Oliver Chau, Marcus Chorney) 6:07. UND defenseman Cooper Moore whiffs on a puck in the offensive zone, Quinnipiac takes it the other way and it ends up in the back of the net as Bongiovanni puts away his second of the season.
Quinnipiac 1, UND 1 — Mark Senden 7:33. UND gets a gift when Quinnipiac goalie Dylan St. Cyr plays a puck from behind the net out to the left circle, where Senden picks it off and slaps it into the net before St. Cyr could get back.

Second period
UND 2, Quinnipiac 1 — Judd Caulfield (Jake Sanderson, Connor Ford) 7:04 (pp). UND is rewarded for an excellent start to the second period, first by drawing a power play, then by converting. Sanderson makes a nice move in the left circle to hold possession of the puck, wheel into space and send a puck to the top of the crease, where UND hammers away until Caulfield gets it underneath St. Cyr.
