ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A sudden-death overtime goal by No. 15 Michigan’s Peter Thompson gave the Wolverines their first-ever NCAA Tournament win, 15-14, over No. 6 Cornell University. Michigan now advances to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament and will face either No. 1 Duke or Delaware on Saturday, May 20, in Albany, NY.

Goaltender Hunter Taylor came up with a huge save six-seconds into the four-minute overtime and then Thompson had the game winning goal at 2:40. His goal came off an assist from Bryce Clay. Taylor finished with 16 saves as the defense held Cornell’s Kirst, who was a Tewaarton Award finalist, to just three points.
