It’s not very often this season where a team can say they went into overtime against the Austin Bruins and come out of it with a win.

Brookings did just that, claiming a 5-4 OT win over the Bruins Saturday night at Riverside Arena, despite giving  up nearly twice as many shots. Austin outshot Brookings 42-25.

Brookings held a 4-1 lead in the third period when the Bruins scored three straight goals in just over two minutes coming from Dante Zapata, Travis Kothenbeutel and Alex Bella.

However, Brookings’ Josh Boyer scored at 4:11 in the extra period on a power play to end the night.

Dante Sheriff had three assists on the night.
