- Through two periods, both teams were unable to find the back of the net even though they combined for 27 shots. Sophomore Cole Moore was spectacular for the Falcons making 15 saves in two periods.
- Bowling Green broke through with the first goal of the game from the stick of graduate Ville Immonen at 7:52 in the third. Senior Ben Wozney took the puck to the net for a shot that popped out. Junior Quinn Emerson collected the rebound in front of the Bemidji State net. Bemidji State's Mattias Sholl made the save, but it rebounded back out to junior Brett Pfoh at the top of the slot. Pfoh took a shot that was saved again but the rebound trickled out on the right side of the net, where graduate Ville Immonen tapped it into the back of the net.
- The Beavers found the equalizer to force overtime on the 6 on 5 with 10.7 seconds left in the third period as the net was pushed off.
- In the overtime, the Falcons had a couple great chances including ones from Pfoh and sophomore Gustav Stjernberg that were stopped. Bemidji scored the game-winner at 1:59 in the overtime to take the extra point.
