In the 35th minute, Andy Sanchez leveled the first period score by launching a free kick into the center of the goal.
In the second period, C of I broke through in terms of scoring. In the 54th minute, the Coyotes pushed their lead to 2-1 after Ahmet Huremovic scored off of the assist by Jack O'Leary. Then the freshman, Lucas Thorne, headed in his first collegiate goal in the 58th minute off a cross into the box.
Bekir Cinac then joined in on the scoring in the 77th minute after dribbling past two defenders and drilling a ball into the upper right hand side of the goal. Finally, in the 82nd minute, Jhonier Caicedo scored the fifth and final goal for the Coyotes off of a pass from Adam Prskavec.
