Just over five minutes into the third period, Hansen centered a pass to Nelson, whose shot was stopped by Rosemount’s goalie. But Roth tipped in the rebound for a 3-2 Eastview lead. With Senior Goalie Gabe Otis stopping everything the Irish shot at him, Eastview appeared to be headed for a regulation time win. But the Lightning were whistled for a penalty with 3:02 to go. Rosemount pulled its goalie and scored during a 6-4 skater advantage to send the game into overtime. Only 2:30 into overtime, Brothers collected a pass from Senior Forward Zach Wooten and ripped it into the Rosemount goal for the win.
