Box Score Alex Leclerc made a career-high 35 saves and senior Luc Gerdes scored his third goal of the season as Colorado College snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 1-1 tie with Miami University Friday night in Oxford, Ohio.
 
The Tigers (3-11-1, 1-5-1-0 NCHC) played their first overtime game of the season after an impressive performance from Leclerc and Miami goalie Ryan Larkin. After 60 minutes of regulation and five minutes of 5-on-5 overtime, each team received one point in the NCHC standings. Neither team scored during the five minute, 3-on-3 period, so the game went to a sudden-victory shootout.
 
Miami's Anthony Louis, who gave his team a 1-0 lead just 2:16 into the contest, was up first in the shootout and placed his shot past Leclerc. Larkin then saved sophomore Mason Bergh's attempt and the RedHawks collected the extra point in the conference standings. The two teams are now tied for seventh place in the NCHC.    
 
Leclerc did his job throughout the first period and most of the second until Gerdes evened the score at 1-1 late in the middle period. He collected the puck from behind the net and fired a shot from the bottom of the right circle that sailed over the right shoulder of Larkin. Fellow senior Matt Hansen recorded his first point of the season with an assist and freshman Kade Kehoe had his first career assist on Gerdes' third goal of the campaign.
 
Each goalie had a spectacular save from point-blank range in the third period as Leclerc stoned Keifer Sherwood and Larkin did the same to Bergh.
 
Larkin finished the game with 26 saves for the RedHawks (3-8-5, 0-4-3-1). Neither team scored on the power play. CC was 0-for-4, including one late in the in the first overtime period, while Miami was 0-for-3.   
 
"This was a pretty good hockey game tonight," head coach Mike Haviland said. "Alex (Leclerc) played well again and has been working really hard at his position."
 
The two teams battle again Saturday night, beginning at 7:05 p.m. (ET).
