Quinnipiac won its first NCAA Division I men's hockey national championship Saturday night, posting a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory in overtime over Minnesota at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Sophomore forward Jacob Quillan scored 10 seconds into the extra session on a pass from forward Sam Lipkin to finish off the Bobcats' rally.
Quillan won the faceoff to start overtime, defenseman Zach Metsa found Lipkin with a long pass into the zone and Quillan cut to the net on a set play, managing to stick handle around Minnesota goaltender Justen Close to score the winner.
"That's a set play by us," Lipkin said. "That was a hell of a play right there."

That was a fun game to watch. And you have to love a team that comes back to tie the game in the final two minutes, and then wins it 10 seconds into overtime. Loved it.
What a finish!
