Ben Lassig (La Crescent, Minn./La Crescent) scored his first goal 68 minutes in and with 9:12 left on the clock, Eric Fast (Eagan, Minn./Homeschool) notched in another Eagle goal.
Crown responded just five minutes later to tie the game at 2. As the time ran out, both teams were forced into overtime. In the second 10-minute segment, Joshua Fryc (Harris, Minn./Homeschool) brought UNW to victory with a rocket, assisted by Matthew McCann (Marshfield, Wis./Marshfield) in the 106th minute.
