NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Despite killing eight Yale power-plays and sophomore goaltender Joey Daccord making 43 saves, the Sun Devils couldn't escape overtime with a win in the series-opener against the Bulldogs at Ingalls Rink. It was the first overtime loss for the Sun Devils since their inaugural NCAA game against Alaska-Anchorage on Oct. 9, 2015.
ASU (7-17-5) struck early and entered the third period with a 2-1 lead, but two turnovers in the defensive zone led to the only two goals in regulation for Yale (10-11-1).
"I thought we battled pretty hard there in the last two periods," said head coach Greg Powers.
