The Hoosiers held Oregon State shotless until the 44th minute, when Pol Morlens finally got took the Beavers first attempt. Despite being heavily out shot, the Beaver defense managed to hold Indiana scoreless for the remainder of the first half.

That didn't last long in the second, as Palmer Ault scored his second goal of the night with an assist from Michael Nesci. Down 2-0, Oregon State finally found some offense, with Arnau Farnos stepping up big, taking eight shots in the second half, two of them on goal. Despite Farnos and the rest of the team's attempts, the Beavers could not get a ball past Indiana goal keeper Holden Brown, who posted four saves.
