The Mules (1-2) got off to a quick start in the game as they put three shots on goal in the first two minutes of action that were all saved by Wesley Sprague. They did not allow the Fighting Scots (3-2) to get off a shot until the ninth minute as Noah Craig's shot was blocked. Colby continued the pressure on offense as Jeff Rosenberg and Cam Clouse put shots on goal in the 33^rd minute that were stopped by Sprague. Travis Singh put up a shot in the 44^th minute that was saved by Dan Carlson to keep the game tied at 0-0 entering halftime.

In the second half, Gordon held a slight advantage 7-6 in shots against the Mules. Josh Beveridge put two shots on goal with one in the 70^th minute and one in the 72^nd minute, but both were stopped by Carlson.

Sprague stopped Garrett Dickey's shot with 43 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime.

Neither team was able to set up a good scoring opportunity in the first couple of minutes of overtime. Tyler Modzeleski set up the golden goal by dribbling the ball up the left sideline and then across the baseline. He then passed the ball to the right side of the net to a wide open Boyer who put the ball in the back of the net to clinch the victory with his first career goal.

Sprague recorded eight saves and his first shutout of the season while facing 13 shots.
