The Pipers converted their first shot of the game courtesy of Robert Cooper in the fifth minute. The ball trickled off an Eagles defender and found Cooper's foot 20 yards away to the left of the net, where he fired a shot that beat goalkeeper Bodean Gaustad to make the score 1-0.

Logan Weller's team-leading sixth goal of the season occurred in the 82nd minute, when he intercepted an Eagles pass 15 yards out before he drove the net and scored to widen the margin to 2-0.

Hamline out shot Northwestern (Minn.) 17-15, and were victim to all three yellow cards assessed in the contest. Cooper fired a game-high five shots.

Ethan Schauer made three saves in the complete-game goalkeeping victory for the Pipers, while his counterpart Bodean Gaustad made nine saves.
