ASHLAND, Wis. — Lawrence University settled for a 2-2 overtime tie with Northland College on Saturday in a Northern Collegiate Hockey Association game at the Bay Area Civic Center.
Neither team scored for the final 21:52 of regulation or in the five-minute overtime, but the Vikings (8-12-3, 7-8-3 NCHA) had the better of the play. Lawrence out-shot the Lumberjacks 10-6 in the third period and had three quality chances in the overtime.
The Vikings jumped on Northland just one minute into the game when freshman Josh Koepplinger scored off assists from Ryan Robertson and Jake Roeper for a 1-0 lead.
The Lumberjacks scored just 1:47 into the second period on Wyatt Garagan’s goals, but Lawrence took the lead back late in the second.
The high-scoring line of Lane King, Renato Engler and Nick Felan struck again when King scored with 4:28 left in the second off assists from Engler and Felan. The Lumberjacks tied it 2:26 later on Jason Reynolds’ first goal of the season.
Lawrence goaltender Mattias Soderqvist made 34 saves for the Vikings. Jason DeLillo stopped 29 shots for the Lumberjacks.
Lawrence wraps up the regular season next weekend with a home-and-home series with Lake Forest College.
