"What a great night for our freshman," added Furey. "Quade had a terrific night with a great goal and setting up the winner in overtime. DP (David Perez) was composed and confident for the golden goal."

The Choctaws (11-4-3) responded and Garrett Head scored the equalizer with just over one minute remaining in regulation. Harrison Russell picked up the assist.
