An improbable berth in the NCAA 2008 men’s Frozen Four was within their grasp Sunday night.
They had a two-goal lead after two periods against top-seeded North Dakota and were at home in the Kohl Center, with a crowd of 9,816 fans roaring. The University of Wisconsin Badgers had every possible edge.
Then the Fighting Sioux ripped all that away, forging a tie in the first 4-plus minutes of the third period and then getting the winner from junior forward Andrew Kozek just 1 minutes 47 seconds into overtime for a 3-2 victory in the Midwest Regional final.
