UMass takes down Minnesota Duluth, 3-2, in OT to advance to national championship

UMass spent the majority of the first three periods getting outplayed. Then came overtime and UMass looked like a whole new team.

That domination showed on the scoreboard when a little over 14 minutes into the fourth frame, Bobby Trivigno brought the puck from behind the net and found Garrett Wait for the tap-in to win, 3-2.

The Minutemen forced OT midway through the third period when Anthony Del Gaizo tied the game 2-2.

In the second period, the lone goal belonged to Cole Koepke to put the Bulldogs up 2-1 after their first goal late in the first period when Tanner Laderoute got them on the board.

Zac Jones scored the first goal of the game on the power play.

UMass will face St. Cloud State in the national title game Saturday night. The game is at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
