Nick Zuchowski was all over the score sheet for the Auggies. He set the tone to his two-goal game with a strike from 23 yards out on the right side in the 23rd minute, which gave his team a 1-0 lead over the Pipers. Tomas Piza made things 2-0 0:22 later off a feed from Jorge Radilla. Zuchowski's second goal of the contest came via the penalty kick in the 32nd minute to widen the margin to 3-0, before Jeffrey Richter closed the game's scoring with a goal in the 34th minute to make the score 4-0.

Hamline weathered the storm over the final 45:00, where they held Augsburg to no scoring and just four shots. The Auggies held a 16-4 shots advantage over the Pipers, who were victims of three-of-four yellow cards called in the contest.

Pipers goalkeeper Luke Rimington made four saves in the complete-game effort, while his counterpart Oscar Herrera stopped one shot in the win for Augsburg.
