The Warriors took their third and final lead of the afternoon on an unassisted tally in the 76th minute. The Coyotes pushed in the final 14 minutes, but could not find their third equalizer of the day.
In goal, senior Juanpablo Camacho (Norwalk, Calif.) turned aside three shots in the defeat. He moves to 3-2-0 on the season.
