MARQUETTE, Mich. — Despite being outshot 11-3 in the opening frame, the Nanooks found themselves in a scoreless tie with the Wildcats. That tie remained until the 17:39 mark of the second when Joseph Nardi found the net on a Wildcats’ power play.
The lead was short-lived, however, as Taylor Munson evened things just 21 seconds later.
The game remained 1-1 into the first overtime. Northern Michigan’s Denver Pierce found the back of the net at 1:06 of the extra session to seal the win.
