St. Norbert also held large advantages in both shots (17-3) and shots on goal (10-2). However, Rockford University goalkeeper
Gustavo Lazcano kept the game within reach, recording 9 more saves and bringing is NACC-leading total up to 91 for the year.

- Less than a minute after Polovin's shot was saved, the Green Knights found the back of the net to break the scoreless tie. SNC's John O'Connor found the upper right corner of the net for his fourth goal of the season to give his team a 1-0 lead heading into the half.
