COACH'S QUOTE
 "Today was another good win with strong support from our bench," said head coach Rob Dow. "I think we're playing well for about 60 minutes and down the stretch here we'll need to improve our consistency and put together strong 90-minute performances."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The River Hawks came within inches of scoring in the 13th minute. Daniel Orrego clanked a free kick off the left post from 20 yards out. German Fuentes tried to finish the rebound opportunity but his shot was blocked by a UVM defender.
• UVM's best chance at grabbing a first-half lead was in the final minute of the first frame. Zach Barrett almost knocked a header inside of the near post from a corner kick, but he missed wide left.
• The Catamounts managed to break the scoreless tie in the 51st minute. Bjarni Aðalsteinsson forced a turnover near UVM's offensive zone and gained possession 25 yards out. Aðalsteinsson sent a feed out wide to Rouleau, who worked his way into the box and rifled a strike into the right side of the net.
• UML nearly tied the game in the 71st minute when Borna Miklic bounced a header of the crossbar.
• The River Hawks had one last chance to find the equalizer in the 88th minute. Denis Petro was open on the left edge of the six-yard box, but he put too much power behind his shot and the ball flew over the bar.
