Canisius and Ferris State went to overtime tied 5-5, and the extra period settled nothing on the scoresheet. The Golden Griffins climbed out of a two-goal hole in the third to force the extra session.
The opening period produced nothing, 0-0 through 20 minutes. The second turned into an eight-goal swing — five for Ferris State, three for Canisius — and the Bulldogs carried a 5-3 lead into the break before Canisius scored twice in the third to level it at 5-5. Overtime stayed scoreless.
The number that defines it: eight goals in a single period, then two in the third from Canisius and none from Ferris State. With no scoring in overtime, the Bulldogs' second-period surge was ultimately matched rather than cashed.
