The road came to an end for Gersich and defending-champion North Dakota in the form of a 4-3 double-overtime loss to No. 6 Boston University (who later fell to No. 3 Minnesota-Duluth) in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Fighting Hawks came down from a 3-1 deficit late in the third to send the game to overtime.

Gersich didn’t manage a point in the game, but he notched eight shots.
