Cincinnati State took a 1-0 lead into the break before scoring twice in the second half.
Joshua Kleinow (Haslett/Holt, MI) started in goal for the Express. He made four saves before being replaced by Ryan Wicher (Whitmer/Toledo, OH) for the game's final 12 minutes.
The Express (13-5-1 overall) host Ancilla College at 1 p.m. tomorrow. It will be their final regular season match. Should the Express win, they will clinch a bye and the No. 2 seed in next weekend's Region XII tournament.
