Denison outshot Wabash overall 15-8, but the Little Giants matched the shots-on-goal total with four attempts. Arellano put two attempts on net, breaking the scoreless tie in the in the 27th minute.
 
"We got a great results today," Wabash head coach Chris Keller said. "It's tough to make a four-hour drive to play a game on a Tuesday night after having just played a double-overtime match on Saturday. We made some good plays, created four or five quality chances and put one away for the goal.
 
"We had a defensive game plan to counteract what Denison wanted to do. The players really executed it. Our back four of Riley Pelton, Rodrigo Porras, Spase Dorsuleski, and Geno James — along with Christian Stiverson — really played well. And Dayton had another great game for us tonight."
 
Pelton and Mohammed Ndour each added a shot on goal in the game for the Little Giants.
 
The victory moves Wabash into sole possession of third place in the latest North Coast Athletic Conference standings. The Little Giants play Hiram College (5-4-2, 2-1-0 NCAC) Saturday at 1 p.m. at Fischer Field. The Terriers are tied for fourth place in the conference standings and will play Allegheny College Wednesday night prior to traveling to Crawfordsville.
