In its third overtime game in four playoff contests, Northern Michigan could not get the puck past Bowling Green goalie Tyler Masters as Masters backstopped his team to a 2-1 overtime win. <\/p>\n

The Falcons (16-18-5) will now advance to Joe Louis Arena for Friday’s Central Collegiate Hockey Association semifinal against Michigan State. Bowling Green — which entered the tournament seeded ninth — is the lowest seed in conference history to make it to the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Masters stopped 37 shots in the game, including seven during overtime to lead his team to victory. Dennis Williams scored the game-winner at 14:54, getting an assist from Ryan Wetterberg. <\/p>\n

The goal was one of four Bowling Green shots during overtime. NMU (18-13-7) had controlled the extra session to that point, keeping the puck almost exclusively at the Falcon end of the ice. <\/p>\n

“[Our] kids played great,” Northern Michigan coach Rick Comley said. “They were tired in the first period, but after that, they took the game over. [Bowling Green’s] goaltender was outstanding — a break was going to win it. We had many good scoring chances, but we just couldn’t get it in.” <\/p>\n

After a Falcon dump-in, however, BGSU got just that break. Wetterburg fed the puck to Williams in the slot, who fanned on his original shot and then fired one past NMU goalie Dan Ragusett.<\/p>\n

“They got a lucky bounce off the glass, and I think their kid actually fanned on the shot — that’s what threw Danny off,” Comley said. <\/p>\n

On 29 total BGSU shots, Ragusett stopped 27. <\/p>\n

It was Wetterburg who gave Bowling Green an original 1-0 lead, scoring at 14:23 of the first period from Austin de Luis. <\/p>\n

But Mike Sandbeck answered midway through the second, blasting a shot past Masters from the far point. The goal came on the power play at 12:27, with Justin Kinnunen and Fred Mattersdorfer getting assists.<\/p>\n

That power play was the only one NMU received all night, as referee Duke Shegos whistled just two penalties. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
