ALEXANDRIA, Minn. – Heading into the third period of Saturday afternoon's MIAC hockey game between the College of Saint Benedict and Concordia, CSB held a comfortable 4-2 lead, and looked to pick up its first conference win of the year.

Seven goals, nine penalties and an overtime period later, the Cobbers came out on top of a high-scoring contest, beating Saint Benedict 7-6 in overtime in Alexandria, Minn. The win completed the weekend sweep for Concordia.

With nine seconds left in the second period, Maddie Dockery took a pass from Katie Cristan and rifled a shot that hit the went over the Concordia goalie's right shoulder, hit the crossbar and bounced in to put CSB up 4-2 and give Saint Benedict all the momentum heading into the final period.

The Cobbers had other ideas, however. Concordia scored less than three minutes into the third period on a power play to make it 4-3, and then scored three goals – two on the power play – within 41 seconds to take a 6-4 lead.

Elli Marvin scored her second goal of the game and seventh of the season in the 15^th minute to make it 6-5, and after CSB pulled goalie Julia Carle in the final minute of the game, Brigette Miller scored with 47 seconds left in regulation to tie the game and send it to overtime.

Concordia had several blocked shots to start the overtime and Carle made six saves, but the Cobbers ended the game with 54 seconds left in overtime when Ellen Rethwisch scored from the right side of the net to make it 7-6.

Cristan started the scoring for CSB with a power play goal – her first of the season – in the 14^th minute of the first period. Concordia tied the game with a power play goal of its own less than two minutes later, and it was 1-1 after one period. Allison Kirk scored her first goal of the season in the third minute of the second, and Marvin scored her first goal of the game in the 13^th minute to make it 3-1 before Concordia scored to make it a one-goal game, and then Dockry scored on her high-powered shot to set up a frantic third period.

Concordia outshot CSB (2-2, 0-2) 56-23. First year goalie Amy Jost got the first start of her career and made 40 saves before being pulled in the third period. Carle made nine saves but took the loss after giving up the game-winning goal.

CSB is back at home at the MAC in St. Cloud Friday, Nov. 18, when it hosts Hamline at 7:30 p.m. The two teams play again Saturday, Nov. 19, in St. Paul.?
