Olivet tied the contest at 1-1 in the 35th minute when MF Corey Evans scored an unassisted goal and the teams went into halftime all knotted up.
The only scoring of the final frame came in the 64th minute when Olivet F Ross Cutler headed a rebound from F Graham Lockwood shot past Scots GK Jon Nowak (Traverse City, MI). Despite a strong effort from Alma the remainder of the game, the Scots were not able get another shot into the net and the game ended with the Comets going home victorious.
Alma led in shots by a margin of 7-6 with the Scots being led by Daisy with three and Alman wih two on the day. Nowak had two saves for Alma, who will next play on Tuesday afternoon when the Scots travel to Hope College to take on the second place Flying Dutchmen.
