The RiverHawks outshot OBU, 7- 4, in the first half but neither team was able to find the back of the net.

NSU's Nikolai Solomon netted his first goal of the year as he was the recipient of a perfect corner cross from Ben Watson to give the RiverHawks the 1-0 advantage.

Osvaldo Olmos collected his first tally as well five minutes later juking his defender for the all-important 2-0 lead.

RiverHawks' keeper Ryan Davis picked up his second shutout of the year, collecting four saves in the victory. NSU kept OBU keeper Jared Hill busy all game, firing off 18 shots to the Bison's 13.
