It was certainly cold here in Colorado Springs today, as it snowed for most of
the day, making the roads icy for the trip to the Broadmoor tonight.  A good
crowd did show up for the game though.  The first period was well played with
few penalties, and each team had scoring opportunities but no one could put it
in as both Bach and Ram made great saves.  At 7:29 of the second period,
Michigan Tech broke the scoreless tie and two minutes later made it 2-0 Tech.
A minute and a half after that, CC got one back to end the period 2-1 Tech.
47 seconds into the third, Tech scored their third goal to take a two goal
lead again.  CC later scored another one, closing the gap to 3-2.  From about
the middle of the third period on, tempers began to flare on both sides as
numerous penalties began to be called, including two majors.  With 2:29 left
in the game, CC evened the score to send it into overtime.  Both teams had
some good opportunities in overtime, but the goaltenders made the saves to
keep the score at a tie.  Both goalies played quite well, and I think
everyone here could really appreciate why Jamie Ram is an All-American, as
he made some incredible saves throughout the game and made the Tigers work
hard for every goal they scored.  The Tigers still have first place by two
points, but with Tech and Wisconsin tied right behind them, the race for
first is still on tomorrow night.
