Marquette’s Cooper Anderson injected some life into the Redmen game with a goal late in the period to put the score at 3-2 behind the Copper Kings.

Anderson, with help from Gaetano Cammarata and Andrew Fedrizzi, followed up with another goal and just 11 seconds to go in the game to tie it up at 3-3 and force some overtime hockey.

Just a minute into overtime, however, the Copper Kings found the back of the net to secure their 4-3 win over the Marquette Redmen.
