THE RUNDOWN:

Much of the first half of the contest looked bleak for the Lyons, as Clark enjoyed a 3-0 lead up until the 45th minute. Trevor Sheridan assisted Sean Munroe and added an unassisted goal of his own for a 2-0 lead by the 18th minute, before Julian Feshback-Meriney collected another Sheridan ball and buried it into the far left corner of the net.
With 31 seconds left in the first, Jonny O'Meara headed in his first collegiate goal to put the Lyons on the board thanks to a throw in from Sean Hurlburt.
Wheaton came out of the gates hot to dominate the second period, though, outshooting the Cougars 14-5 and scoring twice to even the score.
Hurlburt buried Wheaton's second goal of the day at 54:54 after a good looking cross to the center of the box from Jules Stewart.
With less than six minutes in regulation, Amara Sesay was awarded a penalty kick and succeeded in finding the back of the net to bring the game into extra minutes.
The pace of both overtime periods was fast, with Clark narrowly edging Wheaton in shots 5-4, but neither team could come up with a game-winner.
Patrick Byrnes appeared for the start, making 3 saves in the first 48:24 minutes of work. Erik Wisniewski took over for the final 61:31 and coming up with 4 stops.
Connor Maguire was excellent in net for Clark, stopping eleven Wheaton attempts on net.
