Bemidji State took St. Cloud State 3-2 in overtime, the Beavers' only goal of the extra session settling a game that had been level since the third period. The result came down to margins: a one-goal lead built early, surrendered late, and reclaimed after regulation.
Bemidji State opened the scoring in the first and led 1-0 through 20 minutes, then traded goals in the second to go up 2-1. The Huskies' lone third-period goal tied it 2-2 and forced overtime, where the Beavers scored the only goal of the period.
The telling number is the period-by-period split: Bemidji State scored in the first, second and overtime, while St. Cloud State's goals came only in the second and third. Scorers and assists were not available from the game record.
