HOUGHTON - Michigan Tech showed a lot of heart on Friday night.

The Huskies battled their way back from deficits twice to earn a hard-fought 3-3 overtime tie with North Dakota in Western Collegiate Hockey Association action.

"I thought it was a gutsy effort," Tech coach Jamie Russell said. "We showed great character, but it concerns me that we came out and we didn't move our feet or skate at all in the first period."

The Huskies fell behind 2-0 after one. The Fighting Sioux built their two-goal advantage with a pair of power-play goals.

Jake Marto's goal put North Dakota in front by two. The Fighting Sioux dominated the opening 20 minutes, out-shooting Tech 15-4.
