HOW IT HAPPENED

• 9:27 1st (SCSU 1-0) | St. Cloud State started the scoring on a power play midway through the opening period. After a shot by Mason Salquist and a battle for the ensuing rebound, Spencer Meier won the puck and knocked it forward to Jami Krannila for the close-range finish.
• 19:25 3rd (Miami 1-1) | With the Miami net empty, the RedHawks broke through to even the score at 1-1 in the final minute. Max Dukovac fired a shot that Matthew Barbolini was able to keep alive in front. Barbolini got enough of the puck to slide a pass across the crease to Waldron, who beat Dominic Basse to tie the game.
