The Mustangs answered with two straight goals to take a 3-2 advantage at 17:26, but Jones struck again and tied it at 3-3 with 12:49 to go in the first.

Stevenson proceeded to go on a roll and rattle off four in a row to close the half on a 4-0 run and take a 7-3 advantage heading into halftime. Coming out of the break, Makenzie Kelley brought the Dutchmen to within three just 50 seconds into the next half.
