OMAHA, Neb. - No. 15 Omaha hockey fell to No. 10 Wisconsin 3-2 in a thrilling overtime exhibition at Baxter Arena Saturday. Prior to the game, the rink at Baxter Arena was dedicated to longtime coach and administrator Mike Kemp in a ceremony featuring Kemp's family, donors, Omaha hockey alumni and University leadership.

Omaha's special teams shined in the tune-up game killing two Badger power plays in the opening period. Mike Gabinet's side held Wisconsin scoreless in four power play opportunities as Maverick goaltending stopped eight shots on the man-advantage. The Mavericks fended off two 3-on-5 situations in the overtime battle.

Tyler Rollwagen scored two goals for the Mavericks with assists from Jacob Guevin, Harrison Israels and Dylan Gratton. Israels won 9-of-16 faceoffs.

Simon Latkoczy was a force to be reckoned with between the pipes for Omaha making 16 stops in 16 shots faced in just over a period and a half of action. Freshman Kevin Reidler made 19 stops in net.

Quinn Finley scored the game-winner for the Badgers in overtime to cement the exhibition win.
