Dordt moves 12-2-0 on the season after a Saturday afternoon win against Dallas Baptist University. The third game of the week proved to be a little bit of a nail biter, but the Defenders were able to seal a 4-3 win giving them their 6^th straight victory.

How it Happened:
On what would be a slower offensive day as of late, the Defenders got out to a one goal lead in each of the first two periods, but the Patriots were able to respond to each of those in a timely manner.

Dordt was eventually able to score back to back goals in the third period to go up 4-2. Dallas Baptist was able to get it back to 4-3, and had a few opportunities to tie it up, but the Defender Defense was able to hold off the attacks and keep the lead.
