It was nearly the same margin in shots over the final 45 minutes but Dubuque made the most of its 11 attempts by scoring four times. The first of those came just over two minutes into the half to make it 2-0 and then the Spartans scored twice over a minute span that pushed it to 4-0. The final one of the night was during the 60'.
Winston Hedvall scored two of the goals to help lead the way for the Spartans (2-11-4, 2-4-2 A-R-C) and tied for second with three total shots.
Freshman Vincent Dempsey led BVU with two shots, including one on-goal while Raymond Hernandez and Kade Stover each chipped in with one shot-on-goal.
Senior Zachary Sigler, playing in his final career game, played the first 60 minutes of the match and made eight saves while fellow senior Cody Fuller came on for the final 30 minutes and would tally a trio of saves.
Buena Vista finishes the season at 5-11-1 (0-8 A-R-C).
