The Golden Eagles would strike first, with Dooley finding the back of the net off a feed from Bodner, but DU would answer with three-straight scores. MU would respond with a free-position goal from Burns, but another two goals from the Pioneers put the hosts up three again. Osburn would add a goal with 12 seconds remaining in the first off a feed from Burns to make the score 5-3 after 15 minutes.
Denver would extend the lead to five with another trio of goals, but Bodner would score on a fabulous feed from Dooley to cut into the deficit. Denver would add another two before the half ended, leading 10-4 after 30 minutes.
MU would be held scoreless in the third, and Denver would extend their lead to nine, 13-4, heading into the fourth.
