During the combined 20 minutes of overtime, the teams totaled only six shots. For the game, each squad had 20 shots, while the Bears held a 16-4 advantage in corner kicks. Wheaton freshman Cole Davidson turned aside five shots, including one in overtime, while freshman keeper Chris Tarbell made six saves for the Bears.
