Leaders Of The Pack
The Utes experienced multiple lead changes and seven ties with the Knights in what was a very rollercoaster-like match. It would be Utah’s fifth overtime game and second overtime win of their short existence.
Leading the charge was Jordan Hyde who had an incredible game from start to finish. With just a minute left in overtime, Josh Stout found Hyde open for a shot in the corner. Hyde fired to the back of the net, giving the Utes the golden goal and win, 12-11. Hyde led the team in goals with six.
MJ McMahon and Tyler Bradbury were good for two goals along with an assist each. Cody Hart and Carson Moyer added a goal each. Moyer was also good for a ground ball and an assist.
Cole Brams was aggressive on face-offs winning 18 of 26 for a 69-percent win average. He also recorded a team high 12 ground balls. Samuel Cambere notched five turnovers- a career tying effort. Cambere now has the school record for turnovers at 27.
