FIRST HALF

Ryan Masi's first-period goal helped the Friars finish the opening period tied at 1-1 with SLUH. Missouri's top team scored on two-straight man-up situations early in the second quarter, taking a 3-1 lead. After another SLUH goal, Danny Farmer drew a penalty that Matt Bresnahan converted, cutting the SLUH lead to 4-2. Right before the half ended, Trevor McLean scored from outside five meters to get Fenwick within one goal at the break.

SECOND HALF

After trading several possessions, SLUH's Chris Favier connected on an outside shot to increase the lead to 5-3. Late in the third period, Tommy McGuire saved a lob attempt and moments later, Farmer scored from seven meters to cut the lead to 5-4. Matt Bresnahan forced a turnover on SLUH's next possession, then scored at the other end from five meters to tie the score at 5-5 as the teams head to the last period.

SLUH scored early in the fourth quarter, but Tony Perez assisted Ryan Masi on his second goal and the teams get back even at 6-6. After a defensive stop, Farmer had a chance to give the Friars the lead, but he hit the post and SLUH recovered the rebound. The Fenwick defense put the clamps down on SLUH's offense for the remainder of the period, getting the ball back in the final minute before calling a timeout. McLean's shot attempt with six seconds remaining was tipped and SLUH recovered the loose ball and called a timeout with five seconds remaining to attempt a final shot, which Fenwick prevented to send the game to overtime.

OVERTIME

SLUH earned an ejection on their first possession, but the Friars blocked the first shot attempt out-of-play. McGuire came out of the net to earn a steal on SLUH's entry pass, but an ejection was called and SLUH quickly took advantage to score the game-winning goal just over one minute into the extra session.
