5 minutes into the 3rd period Jacob Davis gave the Terriers their first lead with assists coming from Jack Morrill and Ryan Thibault who also was stellar on defense all evening. Later in the period UCONN tied the score on a power play goal and the teams would eventually head to overtime.  The 3 v 3 overtime format was back and forth however with only 43 seconds remaining UCONN broke through on a goal from Liam Gelfand.  
 
Miloslav Fuksa was excellent in net turning aside 29 shots.  Coach Joey Waraskevich commented on teams commitment to defense and overall discipline.  "We certainly are disappointed in the end result of the game but we clearly proved we can compete with the top teams in our conference."
