The Penn State Nittany Lions (3-8, 1-2 B1G) welcomed the Michigan Wolverines (7-5, 0-3 B1G) to Panzer Stadium in University Park, PA.
The high Octane Wolverine offense was neutralized by a swarming Penn State defense en route to a 9-8 PSU Overtime victory.
Let’s Get to It
Penn State came out fast with two goals in the first forty three seconds
Dan Rhaume (2g) notched his 13th with just thirty six seconds gone
At 14:17, Hudson Bohn (1g) hit for his second.
Both were unassisted.
Justin Brown (5g) started his big day at 5:21 pulling Michigan within a goal.
Jack Posey (1g) added to the PSU lead with his second at 2:09.
The curtain closed on the taut opening stanza and a 3-1 Penn State edge.
Onward
Brown converted a feed from Ryan Cohen (1a) to cut it back to a one goal affair.
The Lions started to growl and unwrapped a three goal streak furnished by, Jack Kelly (1g), Michael Faraone (1g) getting his first, with Mac Costin (2g) supplying his 15th to close the half with the home team in front, 6-2.
Second Half
Mark Sickler (1g) made it a five goal lead with his 11th on the man up with help from Will Peden (2a).
The Wolverines fought back with Ryan Schriber (1g) at 9:36 followed by Brown getting his third of the game and sixth of the campaign.
Rheaume made it 8-4 off a second Peden helper with :47 remaining.
The Fourth..
The Michigan pride took over and they dominated the fourth.
Isaac Aronson (1g) scored on the man up when he converted a pretty no-look feed from Josh Zawada at 13:25.
Zawada was playmaker for a pair of Brown goals a minute four apart.
With 3:03 to play, Zawada (1g,3a) all in ten minutes, knotted it up, 8-8.
Regulation came to an end and on to Sudden Death.
