The defensive game was also a physical one as six yellow cards were called in the second half, three against each side, including three inside the final five minutes of the game.
Khloe Schuckman paced Washburn with four total shots in the game, with one coming on goal.
Jaedyn Johnson was the only other Ichabod with more than one attempt as she logged the other shot on goal.
In goal for the Miners, Viktoria Johnson recorded two saves in a solo shutout effort.
