The two teams played to a scoreless first half before the Muskies found the back of the net just under eight minutes into the period. The Quakers' Chad Garman (Dayton/Chaminade-Julienne) scored the equalizer off of an assist from David Benedict (Cincinnati/North College Hill) just nine minutes later. The Muskies, for the second time in the game took a one-goal lead, and the Quakers answered right back with a Markus Carlsson (Umea, Sweden/Sweden) goal from a Phil Walter assist, this goal with 5:01 left to play in regulation.

In the overtime period, Walter scored on an unassisted goal with just 52 seconds to play in the stanza, giving the Quakers their 11th win in a row.

With the win, the Quakers improve to 13-1-1 on the season and a perfect 6-0-0 in the OAC while Muskingum falls to 10-6 overall and 3-3 in the OAC.

The next game for the Green and White is on Saturday, October 23 as the team plays host to the Blue Streaks of John Carroll University starting at 7:00 at Charlie Gilhart Field.
