Zacharias stopped more than 38 shots in the 2-2 overtime tie. Coach Troy Jutting warned earlier this week how Bowling Green had been outshooting its opponents by a hefty margin this season.
“Both goaltenders (Zacharias and the Falcons' Jimmy Spratt) played well tonight,” MSU coach Troy Jutting said in a phone interview afterward. “In terms of quality chances, both teams were about the same. They had a few more shots, but they shoot it from everywhere."

No scoring in the third, and it sounds like goalie Mike Zacharias came up big in the final minutes of regulation. Going to overtime.

Minnesota State saw its 2-0 lead disappear in the final 5:18 of the second period, as the Falcons' Kai Kantola scored two goals, including a power-play goal with 23 seconds left in the period.

Geoff Irwin gave MSU a two-goal game, getting assists from Jason Wiley and Davis on an even-strength goal at 6:58 of the second period. It's the third-straight two-assist game for Davis, who now has 19 points.

Tuning in to the radio broadcast from home, and the Mavericks are off to a good start with a power-play goal by Mick Berge midway through the first period. Kurt Davis and Mike Louwerse kept their scoring streaks alive with assists on the goal. Berge had been questionable for the series earlier in the week but was cleared to make the trip on Wednesday.

One note from the pregame broadcast. Bowling Green State coach Scott Paluch said that his team will go to Mankato next season, and both teams will open their seasons with the series.
