EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Michigan State got a game-tying goal from freshman Porter Martone with just 39.8 seconds left in regulation but fell in overtime to No. 7/8-ranked Wisconsin on Saturday night by a final score of 2-1 from Ron Mason Rink at Munn Ice Arena.
It was Martone’s third goal and fourth point of the weekend as he contributed on four of MSU’s five total goals in the series.“
That was a tough weekend for us for sure,” said Michigan State head coach Adam Nightingale. “Credit to Wisconsin – I think they’re the best team we played this year. They make it hard on you. You have got to be willing to play real hockey. I thought we did a better job of that tonight than we did yesterday. Proud of the guys, they stayed with it, easy game to get frustrated with, we had some opportunities. And I thought both goalies were really good. To stay with it, to tie it up with 20 seconds there, I think that says a lot about our group and what we want to be as a program.”
The Spartans move to 9-3-0 on the season and 4-2-0 in Big Ten action. MSU gets one point towards the conference standings for the tie in regulation, improving to 12 points through six conference games played.
