FREMONT, Neb. – The Beavers needed some overtime heroics to turn aside the upset bid of the Midland Warriors on Saturday night.

No. 2-ranked Minot State forged a three-goal lead but saw it disappear as the 25^th-ranked Warriors made a third-period charge to force overtime.

The Beavers responded with the game-winner 17 seconds into the extra session for a 4-3 victory and a weekend sweep.

With the victory, the Beavers improved to 5-0-1 on the season and 3-0-1 in MCH play as they prepare to host a 1 versus 2 battle on Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. when reigning ACHA National Champion and top-ranked UNLV visits the Maysa Arena.

But Saturday, the Beavers focus was on their hosts, the Warriors, and Minot State took control with second-period goals by Colby Joseph and Jay Buchholz.

Christian Kadolph stretched Minot State's lead to 3-0 with 3:13 gone in the third period, a seemingly commanding lead, but Midland had second thoughts.

Just 50 seconds after Kadolph scored, the Warriors got on the board, then back-to-back goals for Midland with 7:38 and 6:04 left tied it 3-3.

Once into the extra session, though, Minot State ended things quickly as Logan Rands scored off assists from Slade Stanick and Buchholz for the win.

Joseph added a pair of assists in the win for the Beavers, while Kadolph, Joey Moffatt, and Matthew Yakubowski also had an assist for Minot State.

William Dyke finished the night with 13 saves in goal for the Beavers.
