The Beavers' lead didn't last long as 4:18 later, Molly Henderson tied the game again with her second goal of the season.
 
The two teams would head to the three-on-three overtime where Bemidji State out-paced Lindenwood totaling five shots to just one for the Lions. However, LU's Madison Bowtell was tracking the puck well and turned aside all five shots to collect the tie.
 
Bemidji State's penalty kill got back on track and denied the Lions power play on all three of their chances during the game while BSU's power play came up empty on its lone chance.
 
The Beavers will have a short week to prepare to resume Western Collegiate hockey Association play. Bemidji State hits the road and travels to Madison, Wis., to face University of Wisconsin for a two-game series starting Thursday, Oct. 24.
