(UND Hockey website) –  Sophomore defenseman Jake Livanavage blasted home the winner at 3:19 of the overtime session to give No. 18 North Dakota a 4-3 win over No. 4 Western Michigan on Saturday night from Lawson Arena in Kalamazoo, Mich.

UND (18-13-2, 13-8-1 NCHC) had to rally back again, drawing the game level at 3-3 in the final minute of the third period on a goal from Sacha Boisvert before the freshman drew a power play opportunity in the overtime that led to Livanavage’s winner and a crucial two points in the NCHC standings.

Graduate student T.J. Semptimphelter kept the Fighting Hawks in the game, finishing with 33 saves on 36 shots against to earn the victory. The Marlton, N.J., native had to battle over all three periods, facing 11 shots in each of the stanzas during regulation before making three saves in the extra session to help NoDak grab a win.

Ben Strinden (8), Dylan James (13), Boisvert (14) and Livanavage (4) all found the back of the net in the win, with Livanavage also notching an assist for a multi-point game. Junior forward Owen McLaughlin also dished out another pair of helpers, both coming on the last two goals, to give him eight points (1G, 7A) over the last three games.
