The Muskies got on the board in the 29th minute on a goal from Kress who finished a pass from freshman Zach Buchman (Waterford). The score would remain 1-0 going into halftime.

Kress and Buchman weren’t finished as they connected again in the 48th minute, with Kress scoring his second goal of the match.

In the 60th minute, Kress recorded the hat trick of an assist from sophomore Sam Schroeder (Big Lake, Minn.)

Ripon got on the board on a Tommy Becker goal in the 62nd minute to make the score 3-1. The Muskies’ Ryan Holl (Plymouth, Ind.) answered right back with a goal off an assist from freshman Tom Claas (Madison).
