The NCAA Ice Hockey Committee has ruled that the Maverick Stampede semifinal game between Colgate and Nebraska-Omaha<\/a> on Oct. 11 is officially a tie and that only the statistics for the first 65 minutes of play will count.<\/p>\n The game in question was played with a five-minute overtime, followed by a 20-minute period when the game was still tied, which is contrary to NCAA rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n UNO advanced with a power play goal by Scotty Turner at 18:45 of the second overtime.<\/p>\n According to the rules, the only options for breaking ties to determine advancement in an in-season tournament are: 20-minute overtimes to conclusion; or a five-minute overtime followed by shootout (game is recorded as a tie).<\/p>\n Colgate, originally under the assumption it would receive a tie because the game was deadlocked after the five-minute period, did not file a protest on the decision of a loss. However, the rules committee alerted the hockey committee of the error, and the latter decided, despite the violation of the rules, to uphold what was in the Maverick Stampede tournament manual and change the result to a tie.<\/p>\n
