The Hawks had another shot on goal but Doerflinger again made the save. Midway through the second half, Jen Jung and Foley had back-to-back chances stopped by QU's Swanson. The Hawks pressed for the equalizer, and had an attempt in the 78th minute turned back by Doerflinger. The Saints keeper made four saves on the night to post Maryville's fifth shutout of the season.
