Wisconsin Women Score Twice in Final Seconds to Stun UMD: Puck Drop
There are comebacks, and then there's what the No. 1 Wisconsin women's hockey team pulled off Saturday at LaBahn Arena.
Down a goal against No. 4 Minnesota Duluth in the first meeting of top-four ranked teams this season, the Badgers fell behind after entering the third period with a one-goal lead. Wisconsin had been buzzing for most of the game against goaltender Ève Gascon, with a 27-9 advantage in shots on goal after two periods, but it wasn't until able to secure the equalizer until senior defender Caroline Harvey lit the light with 20.9 seconds remain.
But the home team wasn't done yet and quickly went on the attack again with junior forward netting the game-winner with just 8.9 seconds on the clock for the dramatic win.
Overall, the Badgers outshot the Bulldogs 49-17. The teams will play the back of the weekend series on Sunday.
No. 9 Michigan Completes Sweep at No. 7 Providence
Josh Eernisse scored twice, including the game-winner and a shorthanded goal as No. 9 Michigan had a statement weekend by completing a sweep at No. 7 Providence with a 3-1 victory. A key point came after the Wolverines killed a 5-on-3 opportunity, with freshman Malcolm Spence coming out of the penalty box and taking a loose puck for a breakaway goal.
Freshman goaltender Jack Ivankovic allowed just one goal and has given up three through four games.
Icebreaker Tournament
Senior left wing Cruz Lucius notched a hat trick as host Arizona State won the Iceabreaker Tournament with a 5-2 victory over Alabama (Fairbanks). Bennett Schimek, Justin Kipkie and Sam Court all had two assists for the No. 15 Sun Devils (2-2). All five goals were with a man advantage.
