MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Freshman Eric Miller sent his team and the fans that traveled from Adrian College very happy on Sunday afternoon as his overtime goal at 2:29 gave Adrian a 1-0 win over Finlandia. The Bulldogs completed the sweep of the regular season and the tournament championship by battling for over 60 minutes with a determined Lion squad that gave Adrian fits all afternoon. Both goaltenders were stellar inside the Kern Center on the campus of Milwaukee School of Engineering as Brad Fogal made 18 saves and earned the win between the pipes. Ryan Donovan earned the tournament MVP trophy and rightly so making 38 saves for the Lions and keeping them in the contest from the opening faceoff.

Adrian outshot Finlandia, 39-18, on the game but finally on the 39th shot on goal, Miller notched his 40th goal to send Adrian to a 26-3-0 overall record in their inaugural season. Miller received a beautiful pass from Adam Krug just outside the faceoff circle and put the wrist shot over the right shoulder of Donovan. Eric Bailen also was credited for an assist on the game-winner.
