Time wasn't wasted by the Kohawks as Ian Kearney gave them a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute, when he took a long pass from goalkeeper Jr. Holland and fired a shot from 20 yards out.
The Pipers responded with back-to-back goals.

Timlin converted a one-time shot in front of the net off Kwabena Yawson's pass, which knotted the score 1-1 and went down as his first collegiate goal.
Hamline capitalized on a Coe turnover at midfield in the 38th minute, when the ball trickled off multiple individuals before it found Augustine Feika's foot. He took the ball down the right side of the field before he found Kwabena Yawson 20 yards in front of the goal.

The shots were even at 14 a piece. Timlin's two-goal outing came off a team-leading four shots. Kwabena Yawson, who fired three shots, finished with one goal and one assist. Feika and Tomlinson Sterud each recorded an assist for the Pipers.
