Later in the first half, senior Mark Feltner added his third goal of the season when he scored off of a free kick taken by senior Chris Brown. The Pioneers took their 2-0 advantage into halftime. 
Just 11 seconds after the second half kickoff, Ciszewski scored for the second time in the game when he converted an Austin Klemm pass into a goal. Trailing 3-0, UW-Oshkosh scored twice to cut the Pioneer lead to 3-2. Senior Brandon Chmiel scored his tenth goal of the year on a free kick from 30 yards out to push the lead back to two goals, and to slow the Titans momentum.
