Union’s Jordan Webb flicked his second goal of the game past Bemidji State’s Kelly Shields two minutes into overtime as the Skating Dutchmen posted a 4-3 victory over the Beavers Friday at the John Glas Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n
Union forced overtime with just 3:25 to play in regulation, as Marc Neron took advantage of a slashing penalty on BSU’s Jean-Guy Gervais and scored with assists from Scott Seney and Brian Kerr to tie the score at 3-3.<\/p>\n
For the third time in four games against Union College, BSU scored first as Jared Hanowski netted his first goal of the season at the 7:19 mark of the first period. But the lead was short-lived, as Union scored two goals in a span of 2:35 to take a 2-1 advantage. Webb brought the Dutchmen even with an even-strength tally at the 11:14 mark of the first, and Nathan Gillies picked up his third goal of the year at 13:49 off the pass from Joel Beal and Randy Dagenais.<\/p>\n
But Andrew Murray came up big for the Beavers, redirecting a blue-line bomb off the stick of Peter Jonsson into the net to even the score at two goals apiece at 11:15 of the second.<\/p>\n
The Beavers recaptured the lead, 3-2, at the 16:29 mark of the second when freshman Ryan Huddy netted his first collegiate goal. Marty Goulet snuck behind the net and fired a pass to Huddy at the edge of the crease, and Huddy found the net to give BSU a lead it would hold until Neron’s goal at the 16:35 mark of the third.<\/p>\n
“This was a tough way to lose,” BSU head coach Tom Serratore said. “We carried the play, and this is a tough pill to swallow. Our players played hard. The third period was key, losing on the power play. Hopefully our guys will respond tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
Shields stopped 17 of 21 shots faced in his NCAA debut; he took the loss for BSU. Kris Mayotte went the distance for Union, saving 32 of 35 shots faced to earn the win. Joel Beal had three assists for the Dutchmen.<\/p>\n
The loss extends BSU’s winless streak to 11 games, dating back to last season. It is the second-longest winless streak in school history, trailing only an 15-game winless streak (0-13-2) from Nov. 26, 2000 to Feb. 9, 2001. BSU’s last victory came Feb. 8, 2002 in a 5-1 win at Air Force.<\/p>\n
