Denison was led by freshman Emmett Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo./Air Academy) who scored four goals off eight shots. Burton totaled three goals while Rick Mackessy (Hudson, Ohio/Hudson) and Dan Maude (Wayne, Pa./Haverford School) both posted two goals and three assists.

Alex Baruch (Richmond, Va./St. Christopher's) made eight saves in 53 minutes of work while Connor Detjen (Winnetka, Ill./Loyola Academy) led the Big Red with six ground balls.
