SCSU Men’s Hockey Rallies for 2-2 Tie Saturday at UND

The #1 St. Cloud State Men's Hockey team (22-6-6) overcame a two goal deficit to earn a 2-2 tie at #13 North Dakota (14-12-10) Saturday night in Grand Forks -- bringing the regular season to an end.

SCSU trailed 0-2 heading into the third period, before the Huskies rallied to force overtime with goals from Ryan Poehling (12), and Jacob Benson (8). The two teams then fought through the five-on-five overtime period with no goals scored, so the game officially goes down as a tie.

North Dakota went on to score a goal at 4:14 of the three-on-three OT to earn the extra points in the NCHC standings.
