In the 4-0 rout of MSUD, four different Rangers scored a goal, including Wilson, Liam Corr, Jan Grillitsch, and Michael Ajagbe. Blaise Richard assisted two of the scores, while Matys Price, Sahar Golov, and Jackson Hammons added one assist apiece. Regis took 15 more shots, with nine more SOG, and held a 17-2 corner kick advantage. Wilson added another complete game, and Jennings posted his fifth shutout of the year.
