Nick Cryprian and Camden Smith assisted on the goal. A minute later, Freshman Kowin Blesterling scored his second goal in as many games to double the Cougars' lead. The Blue Devils cut the lead to 2-1 following a goal of their own a minute later. On the power play, junior Michael Roby would get in on the action, scoring his second of the season from Tyler Samodral and Jake LaRusso. With less than a minute to play in the first, freshman Caden Pendo scored his second goal of his career from Cyprian and Crowe.
