In the first overtime, Michigan appeared to score what would have been the game-winning goal when Kevin Lynch scored on a rebound in a scrum in front of the Miami net. However, after a video review, the goal was disallowed as the play had been whistled dead before the goal was scored to assess a Miami penalty. NCAA Director of Officials Steve Piotrowski clarified that officials blew the whistle as Lynch touched the puck, with a Miami player touching the puck in the crease and the puck briefly stopped underneath Miami goalie Connor Knapp, both occurring before the goal. The game continued until Miami sophomore Alden Hirschfeld scored 1:54 into double overtime, securing the 3-2 RedHawk victory.http://www.annarbor.com/sports/michigan-hockey-teams-run-ends-in-3-2-double-overtime-playoff-loss-to-miami-ohio/ Michigan hockey team's run ends in 3-2 double-overtime playoff loss to Miami (Ohio) AnnArbor.comhttps://www.cleveland.com/sports/2010/03/miami_university_hockey_team_b.html Miami University hockey team basking in glow of double-overtime regional win over Michigan Associated Press sports staff March 30, 2010 cleveland East Regional – Albany, New York Regional Semifinals #f0f0f0 March 26, 2010 3:00 pm (1) Denver (4) RIT 1–2 (0–1, 0–0, 1–1) http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0910/boxes/mdenrit1.m26 Marc Cheverie Jared DeMichiel 0 – 10 – 21 – 2 (Ruegsegger, Wiercioch) Joe Colborne – PP – 54:34 05:02 – Chris Tanev (unassisted)52:36 – GW PP – Cameron Burt (Favot, Ringwald) Matt Shegos Mark Wilkins Tony Molina Bruce Vida Times Union Center 4 6 40 25 #e0e0e0 March 26, 2010 6:30 pm (2) Cornell (3) New Hampshire 2–6 (1–0, 0–2, 1–4) http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0910/boxes/mcorunh1.m26 Ben Scrivens Brian Foster 1 – 01 – 11 – 21 – 31 – 41 – 52 – 52 – 6 (Devin) Tyler Roeszler – 19:11(Nash, Ross) Dan Nicholls – 57:49 36:47 – Bobby Butler (unassisted)37:13 – Mike Sislo (Burke, Kessel)42:52 – GW – Paul Thompson (Butler, DeSimone)46:36 – Bobby Butler (Thompson, DeSimone)55:14 – Mike Sislo (LeBlanc, Burke)59:27 – EN – Paul Thompson (Kessel) Derek Shepherd Marco Hunt Dan Carey Bob Keltie Times Union Center 4,073 2 4 26 37 Regional Final #d0d0d0 March 27, 2010 6:30 pm (3) New Hampshire (4) RIT 2–6 (1–1, 0–3, 1–2) http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0910/boxes/mritunh1.m27 Brian Foster Jared DeMichiel 0 – 11 – 11 – 21 – 31 – 41 – 52 – 52 – 6 (Kostolansky, Kipp) Phil DeSimone – 19:01(Kostolansky) Blake Kessel – 57:31 14:10 – Chris Haltigin (Mazzei, Favot)33:23 – Tyler Brenner (Favot, Ringwald)33:36 – GW – Brent Alexin (Haltigin, Saracino)34:57 – Steven Matic (Murphy, Burt)50:01 – Tyler Brenner (unassisted)58:06 – EN – Tyler Mazzei (Favot) Derek Shepherd Marco Hunt Dan Carey Bob Keltie Times Union Center 3,737 12 6 26 33 West Regional – St. Paul, Minnesota Regional Semifinals #f0f0f0 March 26, 2010 8:40 pm (1) Wisconsin (4) Vermont 3–2 (1–2, 2–0, 0–0) http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0910/boxes/mverwis1.m26 Scott Gudmandson Rob Madore 1 – 01 – 11 – 22 – 23 – 2 (Geoffrion, Stepan) Justin Schultz – PP – 05:51(Stepan, B.
