Off a corner kick by Cole Poppen in the 15th minute, Leroy Enzugusi headed it into the bottom right corner of the net. Less than a minute later, Steven Enna passed the ball to Antonio Sanchez on a breakaway to draw Trilk out of the goal for a shot into the right corner and a 2-0 Drake lead.  
 
Poppen sent the ball into the box on a free kick and Lucas Bartlett headed it to Enna, who turned to knock the ball into the back of the net in the 19th minute. Christian Junna led a late charge in the first half by firing two wide shots in the 44th minute, but the Leathernecks trailed 3-0 at halftime.
 
The Bulldogs tacked on another goal in the 69th minute when Enzugusi set up a one on one matchup with Trilk and delivered his second goal of the night. Jonah Dancer had his shot saved by the Drake goalkeeper as Western Illinois looked to get on the board in the 80th minute. The purple and gold outshot Drake 14-13 in the 4-0 loss.
