Through the first two periods of Saturday’s contest, it seemed Penn State and Union were destined for extra hockey. The two teams traded goals with regularity; the first four goals of the game were scored in a span of 2:45, with Spencer Foo tying the game at two just 26 seconds after Chase Berger gave the Nittany Lions a 2-1 lead.
The quick-strike offense was hardly a surprise, considering the Lions and Dutchmen ranked No. 3 and 4, respectively, in goals per game. After two periods, the Dutchmen were still within striking distance of the Lions, trailing 5-3.
