DENVER - MacGregor Sharp scored 1:25 into overtime to give Minnesota Duluth a 3-2 win over the University of Denver Pioneers in the opening game of their WCHA first-round playoff series tonight in front of 5,706. DU, which played in its third consecutive overtime contest, saw its 16-game overtime unbeaten streak end with the loss.

The Pioneers, the No. 2 seed in the WCHA Playoffs, were led by sophomore center Paul Stastny's two power-play goals. Freshman right wing Patrick Mullen assisted on both scores for the Pioneers, who finished 2-for-5 on the power play and totaled 29 shots.
.
DU junior goaltender Glenn Fisher made 15 saves in taking the loss. UMD (10-23-4) snapped its six-game losing streak with the win and was led by left wing Andrew Carroll's two goals and one assist. The No.9-seeded Bulldogs were 1-for-2 on the power play, and UMD goaltender Nate Ziegelmann stopped 29 shots to earn the win.

"Minnesota Duluth played really well tonight and deserves full credit for the win," DU Head Coach George Gwozdecky said. "You could really see that we lost a lot of our intensity and determination as the game went on, and Duluth sensed that and got better and better."
