Jack Schneider scored a power-play goal with 32.5 seconds left in overtime to give the Wayzata a 2-1 victory over Hill-Murray in boys' hockey on Thursday night at Aldrich Arena.
Schneider tried to send a pass across the top of the crease for Ben Etzel, but the puck hit Pioneers defenseman Matthew Fleischhacker and bounced into the open net.
The Pioneers dominated the early part of the overtime, but could not solve Trojans goaltender Garret Bonello.
The Trojans got a spark in overtime when Bonello stopped a sharp-angle shot on a 3-on-1 rush by the Pioneers. When the senior goaltender covered the puck, the Pioneers tried to dig the puck free into the net. Coincidental minor penalties on each team from the ensuing melee behind the net allowed the Trojans to regroup.
Moments later Pioneers defenseman Seamus Regan tripped up Schneider at the Pioneers' blue line with just under two minutes left in the extra session.
Charlie Strobel got the Pioneers on the board first with a breakaway with 2:10 left in the second period. Strobel faked a shot and slid a backhand shot between the legs of Bonello.
The Trojans responded 2:50 into the third period. Jack Seamans fired a loose puck into an open net from the top of the crease.
