Mitchell Lewandowski connected just 33 seconds into overtime to break a scoreless tie and send Michigan State to a 1-0 win at Notre Dame in Big Ten play on Saturday night.
Lewandowski snapped a shot home from the high slot off a rush for his seventh goal of the season and second game-winner, after the two teams had played 60 scoreless minutes at Compton Family Ice Arena in South Bend, Ind. Drew DeRidder made 30 saves for the Spartans to earn his fourth career NCAA shutout, while Ryan Bischel stopped 23 of 24 shots for the Fighting Irish in defeat. The win also salvaged a series split for MSU, which fell to UND by a 3-2 count on Friday, despite taking an early two-goal lead.
MSU (10-7-1 overall, 5-5-0 Big Ten) has now won six of its last eight outings overall, and will return to action on Dec. 29 against visiting Western Michigan in the first round of this season's Great Lakes Invitational. UND (12-5-0, 6-4-0) is now off until Jan. 1-2 when it will host Niagara.
