MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. - Isaac Lambert scored two goals, including the overtime game-winner, and the Long Island University men's ice hockey team (13-18-1) defeated the University of Alaska Anchorage (5-27-1), 4-3, on Friday night in the inaugural United Collegiate Hockey Cup at Centene Community Ice Center.

After falling behind halfway through the second, Lambert tied the game with a goal at 13:56 of the period, assisted by J.R Perdion.

Lambert's first goal of the night sparked a three-goal surge by LIU. Moments later on the power play, Noah Serdachny scored his first of two goals, assisted by Trevor Griebel and Nate Benoit, giving the Sharks a 2-1 lead.

Serdachny scored again, finding the back of the net 30 seconds into the third period with an unassisted goal that stretched LIU's lead to 3-1.

With the game tied 3-3 and the five-minute three-on-three overtime session nearly expired, Lambert snapped a wrist shot from the right circle past UAA goalie Bryant Marks, sealing the victory.

Alaska Anchorage outshot LIU 40-22, but Sharks goaltender Daniel Duris made 37 saves and LIU blocked 22 total shots.

LIU will conclude its season tomorrow afternoon in the third-place game versus fourth-seeded Stonehill College. Puck drop is scheduled for 4 p.m.
