Friday's college hockey roundup

WCHA

• MICHIGAN TECH 1, MINNESOTA STATE MANKATO 1 (OT), tie: The No. 3 Huskies (24-7-2, 19-4-2 WCHA) and the No. 2 Mavericks (23-6-3, 19-3-3) tied Friday night in their series opener, leaving the top of the standings as they were. Host MSU Mankato still leads the Huskies by one point, with three regular-season games left for both teams, including a huge rematch on Saturday. Jean-Paul Lafontaine gave the Mavericks a 1-0 lead on a power-play goal in the opening period. Tech's Reid Sturos tied the score in the second. Huskies goalie Jamie Phillips made 43 saves.

• Bemidji State 2, Ferris State 1: Cory Ward scored in the first period and Phil Brewer in the second as the Beavers (15-14-4, 11-10-4) edged the host Bulldogs (14-19-1, 11-14).

NCHC

• NORTH DAKOTA 3, ST. CLOUD STATE 2: Goals by Nick Schmaltz, Brendan O'Donnell and Connor Gaarder gave No. 1 UND (23-6-3, 14-5-2 NCHC) a 3-0 lead, and it hung on to beat the Huskies (15-15-1, 10-10-1).

• OMAHA 1, MINN. DULUTH 1 (OT), tie: The No. 8 Mavericks (17-10-4, 11-8-2-2) and the No. 6 Bulldogs (19-12-2, 11-8-1) also tied. Omaha got the extra point, though, winning the shootout on goals by Jack Randolph and Austin Ortega.

BIG TEN

• OHIO STATE 5, PENN STATE 3: Matthew Weis scored two goals as the Buckeyes (10-17-2, 5-10) and badly hurt any title hopes for the Nittany Lions (16-11-4, 8-6-1).
