  • Just 18 seconds after Remp's goal MU got within a goal yet again and then tied the score at four in a wild fourth quarter with 1:20 left to play.
  • With the game seemingly headed to OT, Trocki got control of the ball in the circle and blasted a back-handed reverse stick shot that hit the back of the cage just inside the far post with seven seconds left giving DSU the dramatic win for the third straight game.
