This remarkable victory didn't come easy, in fact, the Red-Tailed Hawks went to triple overtime and nearly played two full games.

With about four minutes left in the third OT period, senior Hank Walsh stepped up and scored the only goal of the game to seal the 1-0 win over No. 1 ranked Glenwood Springs.
