ANGOLA, Ind. - For the second-straight day, St. Norbert College rallied from a 3-1 third-period deficit to earn two Northern Collegiate Hockey Association points with a 3-3 overtime tie against Trine University at Thunder Ice Arena.
The Green Knights (9-3-1, 6-1-1 NCHA), ranked No. 5 in the USCHO.com Division III Poll, won the shootout 2-1 to earn the bonus point against the tenth-ranked Thunder (5-3-2, 4-2-2).
Trine opened the shootout with a goal by Brody Simko, but the Green Knights answered in their half of the inning with a
Jack Seaverson goal. St. Norbert goaltender
Hunter Garvey then turned away Logan Furstenau in the top of the second and
Logan Dombrowsky followed with a goal for a 2-1 lead. Garvey then stoned Alexander Babich on Trine's last attempt to lock up the shootout.
St. Norbert, which won Friday's series opener 4-3 in overtime, again found itself looking at a 3-1 deficit in the third period before rallying.
Braydon Beahm (pictured) maneuvered his way from the goal line to directly out front and buried his ninth goal of the season to make it 3-2 at the 6:50 mark. St. Norbert tied it up when Beahm came up with the puck in the Trine defensive zone and found
Logan Dombrowsky streaking down the ice on an odd-man rush to score at 8:39.
The Green Knights had a power play in overtime after a Trine too-many-men penalty but did not score.
Trine took the early lead when Aleksa Babic scored at 10:19 of the first period, but St. Norbert's
Curtis Hammond tied it at 11:33. Simko put the Thunder ahead 2-1 at 15:40. That would hold up until Sam Antenucci scored at 5:45 of the third period to give Trine a 3-1 lead.
Beahm and Dombrowsky each had one goal and one assist for two points.
St. Norbert outshot Trine 38-26, including 16-5 in the third period. Garvey made 23 saves for the Green Knights, while Kyle Kozma made 35 stops for Trine.
