 After a 4-2 Saturday loss to Northern Michigan, the BSU men's hockey teams backs were up against the Wall Sunday in a win or go home game 3WCHA tournament matchup between the top seeded Beavers and eighth seeded Northern Michigan. No score just over five minutes into the first, but then Miles Fitzgerald throws the puck off a Wildcat skate right into the net. Beavers go up one. Thirty-four seconds later, BSU strikes again. Jerry Fitzgerald fires the puck into the corner and Brendan Harms comes out of nowhere, sends the one-timer home. Two-nothing Beavers. Then in the second, same score. Wildcats with the man advantage. Brock Mashmire slides the puck home. Five-hole NMU on the board, but trailing two-one still. Then late in the third, now same score. Wildcats, the extra attacker in the empty net. Shane Sooth centers to Dominic Shine, but he fans on the wide open net. The Beavers would add an empty netter just shortly after and they win in advance. Three, two, one. Here they are after the game. We came out today with a lot of energy, which is awesome. It's a good testament to the guys. They knew it was at stake and we pulled it off. We just wanted to put pucks on that early and go to the net and create some chaos and Miles got a nice first bounce there and Harmsy from the corner there. So that was pretty nice. He had an early two-nothing lead and I thought that really brought the fans and our bench and up and more. I'm proud of the guys. I'm happy for the fans and I'm glad, you know what? I'm glad these were tough games and you hope that these games carry into next weekend. But it was a good series. It was a really good series. Very entertaining.
