What Happened
On the game-winning sequence, Jayden Fraser caused a turnover deep in the Saint Leo end. He scooped up the ball and passed it to Wenck, who circled around on the far side of the goal. The sophomore fired a low shot into the bottom right corner for the game-winning goal.
 
The game was tied at 2-2 before the Saints surged with three straight scores. Parker Lee tallied on a man-up situation, and Lucas Shafer notched his first of five goals on the day. Wenck found the back of the net as the Saints led 5-2 after the first quarter. Saint Leo cut the gap and tied the game at 6-6. The Saints answered with another 3-0 run. Wenck started the burst, and Shafer tacked on two more for a 9-6 lead. However, Saint Leo scored just before halftime as Maryville led 9-7.
 
The Lions opened the third with four of the next five goal but Ethan Symons took advantage of a man-up chance to tie the game 11-11 with two minutes to play in the third. The defenses took over as neither team scored until Lee pushed the Saints ahead at the 6:32 mark for a 12-11 lead. SLC's Philip Buque scored to tie the game at 12-all with 3:08 left to set up the dramatic late winner for Maryville.
