The Eagles fired a total of 43 shots against Illinois Tech and won 17 faceoffs. Sophomore Lance Kopecky picked up nine ground balls and Freshman Dominick Flored caused three turnovers.
The Eagles secured a seat in the NACC Conference play in a 15-6 win on the road against the Marian University Sabers on April 29th.
