However, like any other champion, Denver Hockey stormed back and showed why it has been successful over the years, scoring two goals in the final period, including a goal from Jared Wright that came with under three minutes remaining.
No team could get the upper hand after one overtime period with multiple close calls from each team. However, 26 seconds into the second overtime, Owen Michaels knocked in the goal and sent the Broncos to the national championship game.
This was the second time this season beating Denver in double overtime for Western Michigan, winning 4-3 in the NCHC Frozen Faceoff Championship.
