MANKATO, Minn.<\/b> — Jamie Phillips made 43 saves as No. 3 Michigan Tech held on for a 1-1 tie with No. 2 Minnesota State on Friday.<\/p>\n

Phillips stopped all 18 shots he faced in the third period and two more in overtime for the Huskies (24-7-2, 19-4-2 WCHA), who remained one point behind the Mavericks (23-6-3, 19-3-3) in the race for the WCHA regular season title.<\/p>\n

“He was just outstanding,” Michigan Tech coach Mel Pearson said of Phillips<\/a>. “He was the reason we got one point out of here.”<\/p>\n

Senior Jean-Paul Lafontaine scored his fifth goal of the season on a power play in the first period for Minnesota State.<\/p>\n

“At this time of the year you need your seniors, you need your upperclassmen to be difference-makers,” Mavericks coach Mike Hastings said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reid Sturos scored on a rush in the second period to tie the game for Michigan Tech, which was outshot in every period except overtime, in which it held a 5-2 advantage.<\/p>\n

“They’re the No. 1 ranked team in the PairWise for a reason. You could see that,” Pearson said. “I thought they brought their A game and I thought we brought our C game. We have to play a lot better tomorrow, and we will.”<\/p>\n
