Three minutes into the second quarter, the Aggies drew their sixth offensive penalty corner of the game.

Two of the shots found their way into the pads of the Wooster goalkeeper while the other two were stuffed by Wooster's defense. The Aggies tallied five more shots through the rest of regulation unable to convert the goal to send the game into overtime.
The Aggies controlled the overtime not allowing the ball beyond the fifty.

A minute later Hartung sent a shot wide followed by a shot from Miller saved. 10 seconds later the Aggies drew the foul in the circle to earn the offensive penalty corner. Hartung went down to the line for the insert, sending a smooth ball to Miller in the top right. Miller dumped the ball left to Boyd for the rocket shot into the bottom left of the goal for the win.
Graffius and Boyd ended the game with a team-high five shots apiece for the Aggies. Both also tallied three shots on goal. Boyd and Miller both recorded assists in the game. Golbeski played the entire game in the cage making three stops on four shots faced.
