Box Score

TEMPE, Ariz.– David Deputy buried the game-winner 67 seconds into overtime and (RV/RV) Miami University outlasted (RV/RV) Arizona State 2-1 Friday night. Casper Nassen also scored for the RedHawks (12-7-2, 3-6-2 NCHC), while Matteo Drobac stopped 37 of the 38 shots he faced in net. Sam Court had the only goal for the Sun Devils (11-11-1, 4-6-1 NCHC).

HOW IT HAPPENED

16:27 2nd (Miami 1-0) | Nassen broke through to give Miami the lead and the game's first goal late in the middle period. Michael Quinn fired a shot from the blue line that ricocheted off Kocha Delic in front and Nassen was there to finish over ASU goaltender Connor Hasley.
17:08 3rd (Arizona State 1-1) | Court evened the score with less than three minutes to play in regulation on a long shot from near the blue line. Cullen Potter won a faceoff in the Devils' offensive zone to Justin Kipkie to set up the tying goal.
1:07 OT (Miami 2-1) | Deputy secured the win for the Red and White in the extra session after Delic initially kept the Miami possession alive and sent a pass back to Vladislav Lukashevich. Deputy then took a feed from Lukashevich, cut inside an ASU defender, and scored past Hasley to help Miami earn an extra point in the NCHC standings.

NOTES

Deputy finished with a team-high six shots on goal and was recognized as the First Star of the Game.
Delic, the Second Star, recorded his first career multi-assist game and produced five shots on goal.
Drobac's 37 saves was the most by a Miami goaltender in a victory since Feb. 25, 2023 at Minnesota Duluth when Ludvig Persson had 50 stops; that game was also Miami's last road win in NCHC play before Friday's outcome.
Miami was perfect on the penalty kill (5-for-5) against a team that came in tied for fifth in the nation in power-play goals.
Nassen produced his fifth goal of the season.
Quinn picked up his 10th assist of the season and the 20th of his career.
Miami remained unbeaten in overtime this season (4-0-2).
