St. Olaf was able to outshoot the Royals 15-3 with all of Bethel's shots coming in the second half with two on goal but thanks to goalie Colton Syler and the Royals defense the one score was enough to take the hard fought victory. Syler made five saves on the night for Bethel to get his second straight victory.
