In a game dominated by defence, Concordia scored a late goal to beat Evergreen. The Olympian:

It was the first goal Evergreen had given up in three games. Evergreen, which dropped to 7-2 overall and 3-1 in the Cascade Conference, has five shutouts this season and Oliver is giving up a conference-low .76 goals a game.

"I think we're learning how to be the hunted," Evergreen coach Tom Boatright said. "We're used to being the underdog. Now, we're the team to beat. I think we played tight and that shows up in how we played offensively."
