The Reivers continued to dominate play through the first half and created multiple scoring opportunities, but Iowa Lakes kept them at bay, holding the score to 2-0 going into half time.

Determined to put a few more goals in the back of the net, the Reivers came out with a strong intensity and put 3 more away on Lakes in the first 7 minutes of the second half. Sophomore Alex Boss was finally able to find the back of the net and finished 2 more goals for the Reivers, both in the 73rd minute of the game. The Reivers closed out another conference opponent, this time 7-0.
