Bemidji State defeats Minnesota 4-2, and earns a date with St. Cloud State for Minnesota College Hockey bragging rights.
The reigning champions of the North Star Collegiate Cup will defend their title as the Bemidji State Beavers made a late third period comeback to defeat the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers 4-2. After a very lethargic effort by both teams in the first forty minutes, the final period of regulation in St. Paul turned into a good one. With less than five minutes left in the third, Bemidji State went on the power play. Shortly into the man advantage, Markus Gerbrandt registered the game-winning goal giving BSU lead for good and the right to championship game for a second straight year.
