The Cougars traveled to Charleston for a Tuesday afternoon game in the rain and mud at Eastern Illinois. SIUE dominated almost every facet of the game except goalkeeping. Outshooting the Panthers 18–8 and 12–6 on goal, the Cougars saw EIU's keeper, Novotny, make 8 saves while Kobernus saved only 3. The offense did get three shots past Eastern's keeper during regulation time, including 2 by junior Lane (only the 2nd and 3rd of his career), and, the score was tied at 3 after 90 minutes. In their school record eighth OT game of the year, the Cougars, playing several non-regulars, went into a second extra period before senior Bauman collected his first career goal and give SIUE their first road victory of the season.
