The host Warriors however broke through just 6:49 into the second half on a header off a corner kick from Aultain Gaye to even the score at 1-1.  Defense then became the story for Indiana Tech as their goaltending was outstanding stopping every shot that DU threw at them and the game finished in a 1-1 tie.
