He added a second-half score for his third straight season of double-digit goals.

- Junior Jordan Moehn (Fond du Lac, Wis.) scored the first of his three goals in the 18th minute, while senior Bobby Russ (Wauwatosa, Wis.) picked up his first goal of the season in the 41st minute. Campos assisted on both of those, as well as a score from freshman Ryan Kreuser (Suamico, Wis.) in the 41st minute.

- Freshman Dagoberto Diaz (Woodburn, Ore.) continued his impressive rookie season with his sixth goal of the season late in the first half. Freshman Trevor Nargis (Milwaukee, Wis.) assisted on the score for his first career collegiate point.

- The second half saw five more Falcons goals, the first two from Moehn to complete the hat trick. Van Dusseldorp assisted on both of those scores, while adding his second goal of the contest later in the half, which was assisted from Diaz.

- The final two goals for the Falcons came from sophomore Josiah Ochoa (Mundelein, Ill.) and junior Sean Cropper (Green Bay, Wis.). Sophomore Michael Benash (New Berlin, Wis.) and senior Jake Barnes (Fort Atkinson, Wis.) assisted on the Cropper score.
