Lincoln, Nebraska- Mike Davies scored at 2:15 of overtime to give the host Lincoln Stars a 4-3 win over the RoughRiders Friday night. The Riders did pick up one point for the sudden death defeat.

Davies battled down the Rider slot on a partial breakaway and knocked the puck past Rider goaltender Pat McGann to end a see-saw contest.

McGann took the overtime loss despite a strong 32-save effort.

The Riders and Stars produced a goal apiece in each of the three regulation periods.

At 9:18 of the third period, the Riders took an extremely short lived 3-2 lead when Jacob Cepis scored on a partial breakaway. The advantage lasted a mere five seconds before Lincoln's Ben Grotting grabbed the puck off the center ice face off and broke in alone at the other end to snap the puck home.

Lincoln had taken its first lead of the game when Derek Roehl scored from the side of the net to make it 2-1 at 3:04 of the second period. Just under two minutes later, the game was deadlocked again as Dustin Cloutier charged into the goalmouth to convert a Chad Costello centering feed.

It was the Riders who opened the scoring 10:56 into the game when Jordan Pietrus snapped the puck past Lincoln netminder Steve Jakiel (27 saves) from the slot. The 1-0 lead lasted only until the Stars' Brett Bandazian scored off a goalmouth scramble at 15:13 of the first period.
