Alberta stays alive at CIS championships with 4-3 OT win over Saint Mary’s

SASKATOON – Levko Koper scored in overtime as the Alberta Golden Bears stayed alive at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport men’s hockey championship with a 4-3 win over the Saint Mary’s Huskies on Friday.

Top-ranked Alberta, which suffered a shocking 2-1 loss to Waterloo in the season opener, can still advance to Sunday’s gold-medal game if Saint Mary’s beats the Warriors by a 1-0 or 2-1 score on Saturday.

Torrie Dyck, Jordan Hickmott and Johnny Lazo also scored for the Golden Bears (1-1).

Matt Tipoff, Cory Tanaka, and Michael Stickland replied for the Huskies (0-1).

Host Saskatchewan met UQTR later Friday.
