RedHawks Outlast Huskies 6-5 in OT Thriller – Miami University RedHawks
Six different RedHawks scored a goal in the contest to help Miami improve to 8-3-0, 2-3-0 NCHC. Gavyn Thoreson led the Huskies (6-7-0, 1-4-0 NCHC) with a pair of goals.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- 11:40 1st (Miami 1-0) | The RedHawks opened the scoring on a first-period power play. After a Casper Nassen blast sailed wide, Maximilion Helgeson retrieved the puck and teed up Michael Quinn for a one-timer from the top of the zone to make it 1-0.
- 2:20 2nd (Miami 2-0) | Miami made it 2-0 early in the middle stanza when Michael Phelan grabbed a puck near his own blue line and raced forward to start a 2-on-1 break. Phelan laid a pass ahead for Ethan Hay, who slid the puck under goaltender Yan Shostak’s legs. Shostak was unable to find the puck or prevent it from crossing the line, while Nicholas Mikan battled to keep the play alive. Hay was ultimately credited with the goal to double the RedHawks’ lead.
- 5:26 2nd (SCSU 2-1) | The visitors got on the board three minutes later, capitalizing on a turnover behind the Miami net for an unassisted goal by Barrett Hall.
- 13:22 2nd (SCSU 2-2) | St. Cloud State evened the score at 2-2 when Finn Loftus held the puck in the zone and flung it in front to Grant Ahcan, who backhanded a shot around Miami’s Matteo Drobac.
- 16:39 2nd (Miami 3-2) | An aggressive forecheck by Ilia Morozov and Kocha Delic forced a giveaway in the Huskies’ zone, and Delic took advantage, taking a pass from David Deputy and ripping a shot to give the RedHawks the lead.
- 6:16 3rd (SCSU 3-3) | The Huskies responded with a shorthanded goal moments after a Miami player exited the penalty box, as Thoreson tracked down a puck ahead of the defense and absorbed a hit behind the goal before finishing with his backhand.
- 14:10 3rd (Miami 4-3) | Miami re-gained the lead with 5:50 to play after Helgeson attempted a wraparound goal and the puck was eventually deflected in front for Deputy to deposit in the back of the net. Ryan Smith had the second assist on the play for the Red and White.
- 14:29 (Miami 5-3) | The RedHawks struck again quickly, as a pass along the blue line from Quinn to Vladislav Lukashevich led to a long-range shot that Casper Nassen perfectly redirected in mid-air for a 5-3 cushion just 19 seconds after the previous goal.
- 15:28 3rd (SCSU 5-4) | SCSU wouldn’t go away, pulling its goalie for an extra attacker in what would have been a 4-on-4 situation otherwise and getting rewarded with a goal to halve the deficit. Barrett Hall received a pass from Austin Burnevik and took a shot that Tyson Gross tipped home.
- 16:58 3rd (SCSU 5-5) | With both teams still down a player in the penalty box, the visitors found a 4-on-4 equalizer. Thoreson stickhandled inside the Miami defense and tied the game with just over three minutes remaining after an assist by Mason Reiners.
- 1:10 OT (Miami 6-5) | The hosts sent the capacity crowd home happy, as Kyle Aucoin’s backcheck helped spring Giampa and Deputy on a 2-on-1 break. Coming down the right side, Giampa kept the puck and let loose with a shot over Shostak to help Miami improve to 3-0 in overtime games this season.

UP NEXT:
Miami and St. Cloud State will face off again on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 6:05 p.m. in Oxford. Tickets are still available here.
A player who spent most of the 2025 season with College Football Playoff finalist Miami has now joined the Indiana program ahead of the national championship game.
Tight end Brock Schott was with the Hurricanes until Jan. 2 when he entered the NCAA transfer portal as Miami was still in the playoff.
Last week, he committed to the Hoosiers, before they went on to make the national title game, too.
Schott announced on Jan. 5 that he was joining the Indiana program.
The addition of Schott could give the Hoosiers an advantage as the freshman from Indiana knows the Miami playbook, as well as the team’s signals.
Brock Schott appeared in two games for Miami this season, catching a pair of passes for 24 yards. Both of his catches came in a 45-3 win over Bethune-Cookman.
Prior to joining the Miami program, Schott was a four-star recruit who was one of the top tight end prospects in the country.
The 6-foot-3, 245-pound player caught 28 passes for 462 yards and five touchdowns as a senior at Leo High School. He also played defense, recording 52 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles in 11 games.
Schott had an even better season as a junior, catching 35 passes for 743 yards and six touchdowns. Defensively, he had 32 tackles for loss and 19 sacks as a junior.
Miami and Indiana are set to meet in the national championship game on Monday, Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Rumors have swirled around Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball for several seasons, recently heating up ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season. Despite coming into the season with a promising young core, headlined by the All-Star guard, Charlotte’s struggles have persisted.
Ball has been largely inefficient in a new-look rotation, shooting just 41% from the field, tying the second-lowest mark of his career thus far. Monitoring teams around the league, several suitors could offer enticing returns for Ball, but one Eastern Conference club is one of the more sensible destinations for the Hornets guard: the Miami Heat. Here’s a mock trade that sees Ball moved to South Beach:
Charlotte Hornets-Miami Heat Mock Trade & Fantasy Basketball Impact
Charlotte Hornets receive Andrew Wiggins, Simone Fontecchio, 2029 first-round pick, 2031 first-round pick
Miami Heat receive LaMelo Ball
A trade to a consistent playoff contender could help Ball overcome lasting narratives that have surrounded the star point guard. Fans, media personnel and coaches alike have speculated over Ball’s commitment and ability to buy in throughout his career, something that could be overcome with a trade to the Heat.
In Miami, Ball could contribute to a winning culture for a team prepared to re-enter title contention after moving on from Jimmy Butler last season. The Heat would roll out a big-three consisting of Ball, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, a trio that has the potential to emerge as one of the top in the NBA.
From a fantasy basketball standpoint, his stock could take a noticeable leap in an improved situation. Ball would take on greater scoring responsibility, while retaining his role as the offense’s primary ball-handler. With two co-stars and a plethora of perimeter shooters, he could overcome an inconsistent start to the season and hit his stride down the stretch of the year.
Why The Hornets Make The Trade
While Ball has brought his stardom to the Hornets, the team has struggled throughout his career, failing to reach the postseason in his first six seasons. Charlotte has pieced together a promising young wing duo of Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel, two key contributors for the Hornets to build around as they establish an improved culture over the next several seasons. While he’s just 24 years old, I’m not confident Ball fits alongside this hypothetical new-look Hornets club, considering previous frustrations with the team.
Why The Heat Make The Trade
Miami has sought a trade for a star player to help the team return to title contention, a billing that Ball fits perfectly. He presents a consistent floor general to help the Heat’s offense overcome a slow start to the season, ranking 20th in the NBA in defensive rating to this point of the season (114.8). I love Ball’s fit alongside the likes of Herro and Adebayo, taking pressure off the two All-Stars with consistent playmaking and versatile scoring ability. The Ball-led Heat would be set up for title contention over the next several years.
