Colton Friesen had two goals in a 4-3 double overtime win on Sunday.

Midwest Division Finals, Game 3: MN Wilderness 3 @ Anchorage 4 (2OT) (Anchorage leads series, 2-1) – Thanks to two goals from Colton Friesen, including the game-winner in double overtime, the Anchorage Wolverines took a 2-1 series lead in the best of 5 Division Finals thanks to a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wilderness on Sunday.

The teams were even at 1-1 after the 1st period as Cameron Morris scored early for the Wolverines with Jared Mangan answering for the Wilderness.

In the 2nd period, the Wilderness took a 2-1 lead early in the period as Cole Gordon scored his first goal of the playoffs. Later in the period, the Wolverines regained the lead with a pair of goals from Friesen and Hunter Bischoff.
