Westerville, OH- Trailing nearly the entire game, the Yeomen battled until the final minute to earn the 7-5 victory against Otterbein on Wednesday night. The low-scoring matchup marks the Yeomen's third-consecutive win, the longest win streak for the team since early 2018. The gritty victory moves Oberlin to 4-1 on the season.
 
Michael Muldoon lea the way for the Crimson and Gold offense with a pair of goals and a pair of assists. Max Cha also tallied a pair of goals with another trio of players also finding the back of the net. A strong game on the faceoff, Connor Quinn went 11-16 with seven ground balls to aid the Yeomen. Minding the cage, Eugene Kang made 11 stops for his fourth game of double-digit saves this season.
 
After a scoreless six minutes, Otterbein got on the board first just seconds before Quinn found Sam Ryu off the face off to respond. Another goal by the Cardinals regained the home team's lead as the opening quarter expired.
 
For the majority of the second quarter, the Oberlin defense locked in, causing a turnover and scooping a pair of ground balls early to keep within one of the lead. The Yeomen successfully defended a man-down situation, but just as Oberlin looked to regroup at even strength, Otterbein found net and extended their lead to two.
 
As the third quarter got underway, Muldoon and Ryan Blasberg connected for the only Crimson and Gold score of the quarter. Down 5-3 in the final quarter, Oberlin rallied for four goals and shut out the Otterbein offense to earn a late-night victory. The winning goal came from Cha off a pass from Muldoon during a man-up opportunity. At the :35 mark, Tom Decker put the game away with a closing goal.
