Macalester started off the game with multiple shots in the first five minutes. Their pressure became too much for the Saints, as first year Hans Haenicke (Lisle, Ill./Benet Academy) put the Scots ahead, with his seventh goal of the season, in the eighth minute off an assist from senior Will Orser (Eau Claire, Wis./Eau Claire Memorial). Then in the 15^th minute, the Scots were awarded a free kick. Senior Omar Anwar (St. Paul, Minn./Roseville Area) stepped up and doubled the Scots lead, scoring his first of the campaign.

In the second half, the Scots kept up the pressure, both offensively and defensively. Senior goalkeeper Cade Fink (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield North) made four saves to keep a shutout for the Scots. On the other side of the field, Macalester continued to take shots and finally in the 82^nd minute, senior Ben Wagner (Orchard Park, N.Y./Orchard Park) put one in for the Scots off a pass from junior Silas Southworth (Lancaster, NH, White Mountains Regional).
