Ndekwe came back with another goal just ten minutes later, this time with an assist from fellow senior #Jim Atol#.

The Saints took a 2-0 lead into the half, but came back with two goals in the first minute of the second half to pull away to what would be a 4-0 final.

#Jermaine Dacres# netted his 14^th of the season just 27 seconds into the second half, with assists from Ndekwe and #Cody Sveiven#. Dacres now sits at 75 career points, good for 10^th on the Saints' all-time scoring list. Sveiven's assist moves him to a seventh-place tie all-time with 89 career points.

Just 31 seconds after Dacres' score, freshman #Joe Watt# netted an unassisted goal to finish the scoring for the Saints.

Despite it being Senior Day, Reed's shutout was the story as he made one save to clinch his 12^th shutout of the season and 27^th of his career.

The Saints will conclude the regular season next weekend when it travels to Crown College on Friday and Northwestern College on Saturday. The Crown game will get underway at 1:30 p.m. on Friday.
