It is safe to say players on both the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs and North Dakota Fighting Hawks got a good night’s sleep on Saturday.
The two teams combined to play the longest-ever game in NCAA Tournament history with the Bulldogs eventually prevailing by a score of 3-2 in the Midwest regional final.
The game came to an end when 19-year-old Luke Mylymok from Wilcox snapped a shot past North Dakota goalie Adam Scheel just after the 5th overtime started.

Mylymok, who is in his first year with the team, and the rest of the Bulldogs now advance to the Frozen Four where they will look to make it three straight national titles.
