It was always going to take a special performance to drop the defending champions, who had not lost all season. That is exactly what Laurie Goddard did by recording one assist and scoring an overtime winner to shock the Catamounts. This dramatic win came just a few days after he led a first-round defeat of Syracuse with the identical output of one goal and one assist.
