The opening period saw both teams testing each other's defenses, but it was Maine that broke through first.

Their defense held firm against any attempts by Lindenwood to equalize.

Second Period

The team's forwards were relentless in their pursuit of scoring opportunities, with Charlie Russell and Jaden Lipinski playing pivotal roles in maintaining pressure on Lindenwood's defense.

Third Period
