HOW IT HAPPENED
The Badgers potted the first goal of the game, leading 1-0 at the end of the first period, and led 2-0 in the second before the Lancers were able to retaliate.
 
Windsor bounced back with three consecutive goals in the frame. First, Kohn capitalized on a bouncing puck to get it over the arm of Connor Ungar and into the back of the net. Then, Durham marked a second for the blue and gold while on the 4-on-4 play to equal the score. With no delay, Wale got in on the action, ripping one off a 2-on-1 to put the Lancers ahead for the first time on the night. Torchia then stunned the Badgers late in the period with a miraculous backhanded glove save.
 
In the third period, the Lancers kicked things off with a successful penalty kill, supported by Torchia who continued to stand tall between the pipes. At 11:43, Brock tied the score, sending Windsor's do-or-die game into overtime.
 
In extra time, Johnny Uliciny had the fans on their feet with the 40th shot of the night in the slot, yet Unger made a huge save to keep the game tied. Seeing no score after the first twenty minutes, the teams headed into a second overtime, where Brock found the back of the net at the 12:10 mark of the period to advance to the OUA semi-finals.
