The Big Blue responded quickly when Bryce Davis scored his 10th goal of the season in the 55th minute, finishing off a cross from Olav Kaldahl to cut the deficit to one. Despite consistent pressure throughout the final 30 minutes, Millikin was unable to find the equalizer.

The Big Blue outshot Illinois Wesleyan in the second half 13–10. Millikin goalkeeper Joshua Garrett turned in a strong effort for the Big Blue, recording 11 saves on the night.
