MLC dominated the play for most of the game, outshooting the Rams 38-13 overall and 18-5 on goal.
Nathan Gurgel put the Knights ahead in the 22nd minute of action with an unassisted goal he chipped over the head of the Rams' goalkeeper. The goal was Gurgel's second on the season.
John Paustian added an insurance goal in the 66th minute, rolling home a pass from Levi Dunsmoor to give the Knights a 2-0 lead on his first of the season.

Goalkeeper Ben Zietlow stopped four of the five shots he faced for the day, while Steve White and Kaleb Buch helped the Knights control the ball, combining for 17 shots.
With the win, MLC improved to 4-5 on the season, while North Central dropped to 1-6-2.
