Mike Reilly honored off ice, impressive on it as Gophers sweep Bemidji State, read Saturday night's game story.

The Gophers played from behind twice on Saturday night and responded both times in the 5-3 victory over Bemidji State.

It was the first time this season they've trailed and senior forward Travis Boyd was happy with the early lesson.

"It was a good learning experience," Boyd said. "Good learning experience for our freshmen and younger guys and our whole team. It's a different game when you're trailing and I thought we did a good job battling back tonight."

The rallies made sure Mike Reilly's night was extra special. The junior defenseman was honored as the program's 33rd First Team All-American. Here's some more sights and sounds from his big night.
