BEMIDJI, Minn. - [box
score] Bemidji State played its school-record fourth consecutive
overtime contest, as Wade Chiodo’s
second goal of the game at 9:37 of the third period evened
the score in an eventual 5-5 draw with the Union College Dutchmen.
The teams played a wild, physical contest that saw the clubs
combine for 19 penalties for 49 minutes. Union’s Marc
Neron was ejected in the first period after drawing a butt-ending
major, and BSU captain Bryce Methven drew
a career-high five penalties for 10 minutes. Six of the 10
goals in the game came on the power-play, with BSU going 4-for-9
and Union capitalizing on four of six extra-man opportunities.
BSU held one-goal leads on three occasions in the game, at
2-1, 3-2 and 4-3, but back-to-back Dutchman lamp-lighters
by Jordan Webb (6:29/3rd, power play) and Joel Beal (8:26/3rd)
put Union College ahead 5-4. But Chiodo needed just 1:11 to
respond and even the score at 5-5 with the eventual game-tying
goal.
Chiodo scored a career-high 2-2=4 points for BSU and scored
a career-high two goals. Anders Olsson scored
three assists, the most by a BSU defenseman since Clay Simmons
had three against Findlay on Nov. 22, 1999. Bryce
Methven added two assists, and Riley Riddell
had a goal and assist.
“We put up 63 shots tonight and 42 last night. What
can you do?” asked BSU head coach Tom Serratore.
“We launched off over 100 shots tonight and all we get
is one point out of it. We had one bad period this weekend
and had five great periods of play. I am proud of our effort
and we are playing some very exciting hockey.”
The loss extends BSU’s winless streak to 12 games,
dating back to last season. It is the second-longest winless
streak in school history, trailing only an 15-game winless
streak (0-13-2) from Nov. 26, 2000 to Feb. 9, 2001. BSU’s
last victory came Feb. 8, 2002 in a 5-1 win at Air Force.
BSU became the first Division I men’s ice hockey team
to play four consecutive overtime games since Harvard in 2001-02.
The Crimson closed that season with four overtime games, including
two double-overtime games, from March 9-23, 2002.
Union goalie Kris Mayotte saved a school-record 58 shots
for the Dutchmen to earn the tie. He faced 63 BSU shots in
the game. Dannie Morgan went the distance
for BSU; he saved 15 of 20 shots faced and earned his career-high
second tie of the season.
Kris Goodjohn had a goal and two assists for Union College;
Joel Beal and Jordan Webb each had a goal and an assist and
Jason Kean had two assists.
The draw leaves BSU at 0-1-3 on the season, leaving the Beavers
winless in the first four games of a season for just the third
time in the program’s history. BSU started 0-4-0 in
its inaugural 1947-48 season and 0-10-0 in 1999-00. Union
College saw its record move to 2-1-2 on the season. Next action
for BSU comes Nov. 1-2 when the Beavers travel south to tackle
Western Collegiate Hockey Association member Minn. State-Mankato
for a two-game series. Opening face-offs from the Midwest
Wireless Civic Center are scheduled for 7:35 p.m. and 7:05
p.m., respectively.
