UMass hockey gets an incredible 5-4 comeback win over Minnesota in overtime during the Fargo Regional semifinals.

Even though the game was tied at one point after Minnesota scored the first goal, the Golden Gophers remained in control throughout the contest.

Going into the third period, UMass was down 3-1 as they got tons of shots off but could not connect with its target.
