College Hockey
Logan Pietila’s goal with nine seconds remaining in regulation powered the Michigan Tech hockey team into the Central Collegiate Hockey Association championship game. Saturday’s 4-3 victory over Minnesota State ended in dramatic, almost bizarre fashion. The Huskies played from behind all night long. Early goals by Jack Works and Kash Rasmussen kept them in the game. Down 3-2, Pietila tied it with a penalty shot with four-and-a-half minutes to go. Then, as the clock ticked down, he fired a shot that was deflected by Mavericks goaltender Alex Tracy. The puck flew over the net, hit the glass, caromed high in the air, came down in front of the net, bouncing off a Mavericks defenseman, then glancing off Tracy’s helmet into the net for the game-winner.
The Huskies will play for the Mason Cup Friday night at Bemidji State. The Beavers eliminated Lake Superior State 4-1 Saturday.
