Mo Murphy was credited with the assist. The Panther defense shut out Depauw in the second half, but the visitor's were unable to tie the game and it ended 2-1 favoring Depauw.

The team's record now stands at 2-9 heading into a long stretch of SLIAC match-ups. The first of these Conference games will come on Saturday, October 12, when the Panthers travel to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa to take on the Iowa Wesleyan Tigers.
