Minnesota-Duluth Wins Amazing Game at NCAA West Regional

MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota-Duluth has played 29 games at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis, the home of their rival Minnesota Gophers. Never before have they ever experienced a night like Friday. The Bulldogs were the home team, and while the in-house crowd was well short of capacity, it was almost unanimously pro-UMD.

The Bulldogs waited a little while, but finally took advantage. Two goals in the last 40 seconds of regulation tied it, and Mike Connolly (undrafted) power-play goal in overtime won it for UMD. They beat Princeton 5-4 in overtime in front of 7,187 at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis.

UMD was able to strike first, as they have in every playoff game to date. Once again, it was senior, but it wasn't MacGregor Sharp (undrafted), who scored first during each of UMD's games at the WCHA Final Five last weekend in St. Paul. Instead, it was senior tri-captain Andrew Carroll (undrafted). Freshman Travis Oleksuk (undrafted) threw a shot at Princeton goalie Zane Kalemba (undrafted). The rebound sat in the crease, and Carroll beat a Princeton defender to it for his fifth goal of the season.

i still can't believe UNH scored with .1 second to get it to OT and then that kid launched a rocket to win it!

But I have a problem with a 3 seed having a "home" game over a 2 seed.
