The Paladins added an insurance goal in the 86^th minute. Wofford was whistled for a handball on the left side of the box and Kraus converted from the penalty spot for his team-best fifth goal of the campaign.

All told, the Paladins managed a 15-3 advantage in total shots and 6-1 edge in shots on goal. Leo Ledin made four saves in a losing effort for the Terriers.
 
"It's great to get the three points and great to get a shutout," said Paladin head coach Doug Allison. "Wilfer took his chance well and our defense was solid."
