Box Score UW-Stevens Point dominated from the start, but it was UW-River Falls which had the final say at the end as the Falcons rallied from a late two-goal deficit to force a 2-2 tie in Sunday's Northern Collegiate Hockey Association contest at Ice Hawks Arena.

The Pointers outshot the Falcons 16-0 in the first period and went ahead 2-0 just 28 seconds into the second period. However, UW-River Falls rallied with two goals from Jenna Scanlon in the final 7:28 of the third period and then fought off two Pointers' power plays in overtime to force the tie.

UW-Stevens Point, ranked third in the NCAA Division III, is now 6-2-1 overall and 1-2-1 in the NCHA, while UW-River Falls is 5-1-3 overall and 2-1-1 in the league.

The Pointers were in complete control for the first period, but Falcons' goaltender Amber Lindner was in perfect position nearly every time, stopping 15 of 16 shots to keep the score 1-0. Lindner's only blemish came on a long, knuckling shot from Jamie Lewandowski (Rolling Meadows, IL/Fremd) that fluttered over her right shoulder at the 15:10 mark of the period.

UW-Stevens Point went ahead 2-0 when Michelle Sosnowski (Plainfield, IL/Plainfield Central) finished off a perfect pass from Nicole Grossmann (Lindstrom, MN/Chisago Lakes) early in the second period. The Pointers appeared to be cruising along until Scanlon scored the first of her goals off a pass from Kristen Juven. Scanlon added another goal with 3:33 left in the third period, poking home loose puck in front of the net on a power play.

The Falcons were whistled for a penalty with 1:41 left in the third period, but the Pointers were unable to convert the opportunity. UW-Stevens Point also finished the game with a man advantage for the final 1:08, but was just one-for-seven on power plays in the game.

Lindner made three saves in overtime and 33 for the game, while UW-Stevens Point's Amy Statz (Wisconsin Rapids/Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln) stopped 19 shots for the game, including 10 in the third period.
