While top-ranked teams losing Friday night is certainly noteworthy, the fact Northern Michigan topped No. 20 Michigan Tech 5-3 takes the cake.<\/p>\n

That’s because a rarity happened in the game – NMU goalie Atte Tolvanen scored an empty-net goal at 18:53 of the third period.<\/p>\n

It was the first such occurrence in NMU history.<\/p>\n

Here it is. The video you've all been waiting for. The first goalie goal in program history and 11th in NCAA history by @NMUHockey<\/a> Atte Tolvanen! @espn<\/a> @SportsCenter<\/a> @ESPNAssignDesk<\/a> #SCtop10<\/a> #NMUwildcats<\/a> #ShareNMU<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/QCX60MAUZI<\/a><\/p>\n
