Just over two minutes later UWSP bounced back to tie the game. Neither team would re gain the lead in the third period sending the game into overtime.

It only took UWSP nine seconds to score the game winning goal in overtime. For the second straight night the Falcons had more shots on goal than the Pointers with 37 compared to 29 for UWSP.
