Minnesota Duluth wins epic NCAA hockey game over North Dakota in five overtimes
The longest game in NCAA tournament history came to a surprising end when freshman Luke Mylymok scored.

FARGO – It took five overtimes and an unlikely hero, but Minnesota Duluth's quest for a third consecutive NCAA men's hockey championship remains alive and well.
Freshman Luke Mylymok scored early in the fifth OT and UMD won the longest game in NCAA tournament history, beating NCHC regular-season and tournament champion North Dakota 3-2 in a championship game of the Midwest Regional that ended early Sunday morning, more than six hours after it began.
Mylymok has only played in 11 games this season for Minnesota Duluth (15-10-2). But he beat Adam Scheel between the pads for his second college goal — a goal that came at 142 minutes, 13 seconds and sent the Bulldogs to their fourth consecutive Frozen Four.
Early in that fourth overtime, the game became the longest in NCAA tournament history, surpassing the previous mark of 123:53 from St. Lawrence's victory over Boston University in 2000. This game fell short of the longest game in college hockey history; UMass beat Notre Dame 4-3
