Ryan Marshall (Sr., Plymouth, Minn. / Robbinsdale Armstrong) crossed a pass in front of the Johnnie net and Taylor Rasmussen (Jr., Eagan, Minn. / Eastview) converted for the game's lone score, which came in the first minute of the second half. Rasmussen moves into the No. 10 position on the school's all-time scoring chart with 21. He passes Nathan Knox '04 (20 goals).

Matt Weyer (Sr., Cedarburg, Wis.) was not asked to make a save and records his second shutout of the season. Macalester out-shot SJU 15-5, getting six shots from Rasmussen and three by Reid Usedom (Sr., Asheville, N.C. / A.C. Reynolds).
