“Going into the third period tied we knew we had to play our strongest period of the season. After a strong third neither team gave in and we were headed into overtime for the first time this season. [#9 Matt] Mancini made a great shot on net and was able to collect then rebound. He passed to me at the point and I took a wrist shot top right corner over the goalie’s glove for the game-winner. The team unloaded from the bench and we all celebrated an amazing game and the best win of the season!” – #21 Tyler Oakes
