The Griffins came out in the second half very aggressive, recording two goals in 10 minutes of play. Both of the goals came off of set plays, one a free kick and another a corner kick. Besides the two goals in the 10-minute span the Panthers played solid defense. McCarty made a huge save in the 74^th minute off of a penalty kick by the Griffins. The offense for DU wasn't able to create many opportunities as they only recorded one shot on goal in the second half.
