Koering's OT Winner Sends Tigers Past Northern Michigan

Ryan Koering scored 3:09 into overtime Friday night to give No. 19 Colorado College a 2-1 victory over Northern Michigan in Marquette, Mich.
 
Koering, who added an assist for the first multi-point game of his career, took the puck from goalie Kaidan Mbereko behind the CC net and flew down the left side before cutting in and shooting a backhander on NMU netminder Oliver Auyeung-Ashton, who saved the shot but Koering put home the rebound for the win. Mbereko (16 saves) collected his first career point on the play.
 
The Tigers (4-1-0) dominated play throughout the game, outshooting NMU, 45-17, the biggest margin since a 49-19 advantage against Northern Michigan in last year's season opener.
 
The Tigers came out hopping, collecting the first seven shots on goal, all in the first five minutes. However, Northern Michigan (0-5-0) scored first at the 11:15 mark of the first period.
 
Coming out of the media timeout, Jakub Altrichter won the faceoff and Medrick Bolduc fired a wrist shot from the top of the right circle that cleared the right shoulder of Mbereko and found the net just inside the far post.
 
Despite trailing for half of the first period, the Tigers kept up the pressure, outshooting NMU, 15-5, in the first 20 minutes.
 
Following a scoreless second period in which CC outshot the Wildcats, 13-4, Klavs Veinbergs tied the game with his third goal of the season at the 10:35 mark of the third period.
 
Veinbergs took a pass from Koering in the neutral zone, skated down the right side and snapped a wrister from the top of the right circle that went top shelf past Auyeung-Ashton, who finished with 43 saves.
 
Veinbergs also collected an assist on Koering's game winner, earning his second two-point game of the season.
 
The two teams will wrap up the weekend series on Saturday, Oct. 18, beginning at 6 p.m. CT.
