Quincy was persistent on the offensive end all night as they outshot Southern Indiana 17-9 in the contest. Eleven of those seventeen shots came in the first half as QU sent four on goal. Freshman Jack Rhead broke through just before the thirty-minute mark with a goal from inside the 18-yard box that was assisted by Alex Lehmann. Quincy held the 1-0 lead up until halftime.
