Penn State Hockey was able to outlast UConn Hockey in the second round of the NCAA Men's Hockey Tournament, defeating the Huskies 3-2 in an overtime shootout.

After UConn took an early lead in the fist period with a goal from Joey Muldowney, Penn State Hockey was able to answer with a goal of its own from Dane Dowiak.

The two teams would then trade shots in the second period, then entered a stalemate for the entire third period, and just about all of overtime.

Both teams' goalies, Callum Tung and Arsenii Sergeev, had stellar nights, seeing a combined 85 shot attempts come their way.

In the end, the Nittany Lions regained their rhythm first, with Matt DiMarsico taking the charge for a goal in the last few minutes of overtime, securing the program's first ever Frozen Four berth.

Be sure to check out the full recap and highlights from Penn State vs. UConn Hockey at the NCAA Tournament.
