Lawrence added some breathing room in the 77th minute when Tegenfeldt-Pfohman scored his second goal of the afternoon off an assist from Pablo Silveira. Juchan Yang capped the scoring with an unassisted goal in the 90th minute to seal the 4-1 victory.
The Vikings finished with 17 shots, including 14 on goal, while Ripon recorded 18 shots and 10 on target. Puebla finished with seven saves, and Mikkelsen led Lawrence with six shots, five of which were on goal.
