In a 13-goal thriller, the Omaha Mavericks showed incredible resilience and downed the No. 15/14 St. Cloud State Huskies 7-6 in overtime tonight.

The Mavericks trailed most of the evening tonight until the third period. Omaha was down 2-0, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 and 4-2 all before scoring two goals in a span of 12 seconds from Jacob Guevin and Nolan Krenzen to even things up at 4-4. The Mavericks entered the third period down 5-4 after a late period Huskies goal.

72 seconds into the final 20 minutes of regulation, Jack Randl forced a turnover at the defensive blueline and went in all alone on a breakaway to bury his team leading ninth goal of the campaign. 30 seconds later, Ray Fust gave the Mavericks their first lead of the night with a tipped shot in the slot. SCSU would go on to tie the game at the 10:16 mark of the third.

Omaha threw everything they had at the Huskies after the equalizer and even hit a cross bar late. However, the Mavericks would meet their old friend, overtime, to finish the job. 39 seconds into the extra frame, Tanner Ludtke one-timed a pass home from his older brother, Griffin, to complete the comeback victory.

"We had unbelievable belief and resilience by the group tonight. We didn't give up and found a way to comeback and get a huge win," Omaha head coach Mike Gabinet said.

In the second period, Omaha's first goal came from Jack Randl when he finished a backdoor one-timer from captain Nolan Sullivan. Jimmy Glynn deposited the Mavericks second goal to take advantage of an offensive turnover created by Jesse Lansdell.

Omaha and St. Cloud State close out the weekend tomorrow night with a 6:00 p.m. puck drop from the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
