Denison would not score again until the 88th minute.Brian Collins (East Aurora, N.Y./The Nichols School) found Peter Shorten (Hudson, Ohio/Western Reserve Academy) who beat the goalie to give DU a little breathing room during the final two minutes of play.

The victory was Denison's third straight and their third consecutive shutout win.  Kevin Donahue (Riverside, Conn./Greenwich) posted three saves while facing six shots in goal for the Big Red.  DU outshot Macalaster 8-6 but took corner kicks to Macalaster's three.
