One of the reasons UMD has been the reigning national champions for over 1,000 days now is the team’s relatively consistent ability to overcome adversity.
Adversity knocked on the Bulldogs’ door again Saturday night in St. Cloud, and once again UMD had a response, one good enough to pick up a 4-3 overtime win over St. Cloud State on a winning goal by junior captain Noah Cates.
Before we got there, UMD had to overcome a few things. St. Cloud State’s power play got on a heater, scoring on its first three opportunities, twice on a five-minute major called against Tanner Laderoute that was, um, interesting. That sequence came a few seconds after a two-on-zero rush for UMD was whistled down because of a penalty being called on, um, the other team.
