HOW IT HAPPENED
- Tim Robertson drained a 30-foot triple as the horn sounded in regulation to cap a remarkable 26 seconds for the Stars, who made three 3-pointers during the span to push the game into an extra period.
- Concordia Wisconsin had a response of its own to being overtime with long balls by Josh Hau and Noah Gosse to quickly take back control of the league matchup.
