Michigan defenseman Alex Roberts sets his sights on the Ohio State goal during Saturday night's 3-3 tie at
Yost Ice Arena. Buckeye goalie Todd Fanning was solid in goal, notching 36 saves on the evening, including
several crucial stops in overtime.

Mike Moes, Roberts was in front of
the net for the rebound and scored a
decisive goal to put the game into
overtime with 20 seconds to go.
"Stoney (Don Stone) had the
puck and his shot came off and
rebounded and I tried to go to the far
side with it. I guess I had some luck
with me," Roberts said of his
emotional goal.
However, while Roberts' goal
was able to provide the Wolverines
with a tremendous amount of mo-
mentum it was unable to lift them
in the overtime, as both teams
combined for only three shots in the
period.
Saturday night at Yost, Michigan
had a 3-0 lead after two periods on
goals by David Roberts, center Rob
Brown, and Stone as the Wolverines
took 27 shots and held Ohio State to
18.
However, the third period was
full of suspect minutes on the Mich-
igan end.
"I think we came out flat in the
third," rookie defenseman David Har-
lock said. "Instead of tightening our
defense we opened up. The next
thing we know is that we're getting
stupid penalties and whoever scores
the next goal has control of the
game."
Ohio State scored three un-
answered goals in the third period as
the Buckeyes tied it up 3-3. The
third came on a 4-on-3 power play
with both defensemen Alex Roberts
and Mark Sorensen serving time in
the penalty box.
A major factor in the Buckeye
comeback was the outstanding play
of goalie Todd Fanning. "To be in a
position to win a game where you're
three goals down was because of
him," Ohio State coach Jerry Welsh
said.
Fanning had 36 saves in the
second game, including five in the
overtime period. "Todd had an excep-
tional game," goalie Warren Sharp-
les said. "We had a lot of opp-
ortunities when he was down and
out, and he was on his stomach a lot
but we just couldn't get the puck in
the net."
Berenson expressed his frustration
with the series after Saturday's
game: "We have to win. Ties aren't
good enough. There's no way this
team (Ohio State) should have come
back to tie."
