Peter Hatton found the back of the net in the second period to go with an assist, while Connor Clay (2), Sam Cukr and Caldwell also had helpers. Marcus goalie Kamen Kessler made 39 saves in net.
Denton County (3-3), meanwhile, won for the second week in a row by topping Frisco, 4-3, in overtime.
Destry Kittman netted the game-winner in overtime for the Spartans. Other scorers for Denton County included Andrew Johnson, Dylan DeRozario and Brad Duggan. Assists were recorded by Johnson, DeRozario and Devin Howard. Darryll Smith picked up the win in net with 20 saves.
