Stavropoulos recorded his first career goal with 5:46 to play in the game. Sophomore Andrew Brendamour (Cincinnati, OH/Cincinnati Country Day) earned the assist before scoring the game’s final tally off a Figueroa pass at 87:25.

Sophomore Jacob Elperin (Highland Park, IL/Lake Forest Academy) recorded the team’s three saves and combined with freshman Sam Malmberg (Concord, NH/St. Paul's School) to blank the Prairie Fire.

Senior Jon Duke (Eugene, OR/Marist) put the Foresters ahead early on Sunday with unassisted goals at 14:15 and 33:02. The Red Hawks got on the scoreboard with 1:35 remaining in the first period and tied the score at the game’s 59:45 mark. Ripon scored the game winner 3:22 into overtime.
