ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Men's Hockey (2-2-0, 0-0-0 NCHC) dropped its series opener to Vermont (2-1-0, 0-0-0 HEA), 2-1, in overtime on Friday evening at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn. The Huskies registered a season-best 46 shots on goal, but Vermont goalkeeper Aiden Wright made 45 saves in net to steal the victory.

The first 35 minutes of the game went scoreless as both Wright and SCSU freshman goaltender Yan Shostak (Minsk, Belarus) were playing outstanding. Vermont was the first to score at the 15:58 mark of the second period when the Catamounts won a faceoff to open a power play and passed the puck to Cedrick Guindon who was ready for a one-timer that quickly found the back of the net.

SCSU was able to pull even in the third period on its first of three third period power play chances when junior forward Tyson Gross (Calgary, Alberta) scored his first goal of the season. Vermont tried to clear the puck numerous times but sophomore forward Austin Burnevik (Ham Lake, Minn.) was waiting on the right side boards to keep the puck in the offensive zone. He quickly fired a cross-ice pass to junior Adam Ingram (West St. Paul, Manitoba), who touch passed the puck to Gross in the high slot. Gross picked the top-right corner, beating a defender and the goalie to make the score 1-1 at 4:57 on the final period.

In overtime, Vermont scored 1:24 in on a breakaway to record the 2-1 win.
