Michigan Tech came back strong in the second period, scoring two goals in the first six minutes to tie the game up at three. Ferris would answer late in the period with a goal by freshman Corey Mackin. Mackin was assisted by sophomores Tyler Andrew and Andrew Dorantes on the goal.
After four goals in the first two periods, the Bulldog offense slowed down in the third period. The only goal scored in the third came from the stick of MTU’s Matt Roy just over five minutes into the period. The score would remain 4-4 until the end of regulation.
In a five minute overtime period, Michigan Tech struck late when Malcom Gould squeaked one past FSU goalie Charles Williams with 46 seconds left in the contest to win 5-4.
