Junior Hailey Ehr scored with 41 seconds left in overtime to give the Point-Rapids Red Panthers a 4-3 victory over host Tomahawk at Sara Park Thursday evening.

The Red Panthers scored three times in the first period for a commanding early lead but saw the Hatchets chop into that lead, scoring a pair in the middle period for a 3-2 Red Panther lead.

Sophomore Bryar Brooks scored from close in twice in a span of just over three minutes early in the first to give the guests a 2-0 lead. Savannah Duckett and Elli Esselman had assists on the goals.

Five minutes later, Megan Nolan scored to make it 3-0 for Point-Rapids, with an assist to Carolyn Storch.

Shots were 12-3 in favor of the guests in the period.

Erika Vallier scored twice early in the second period to cut the lead to 3-2. The first score was a short-handed effort by Vallier, who beat the defense for the score. Both goals were unassisted.

Shots were 10-7 in favor of Point-Rapids in the period.

The Red Panthers killed off a minute of 5-on-3 hockey early in the third period to keep the lead at 3-2, but that would change late in the stanza.

Rylie Flohr buried a rebound past a battlefield of littered bodies with just under four minutes left in the third for the power play goal to knot the contest at three. Vallier and Taylor Tomaszewski earned assists on the play.

The period ended with the hosts on a power play, as the guests once again held the shot edge, 14-10.

The extra period was all Red Panthers as they outshot Tomahawk 8-0, with the game-winner coming after Storch won the faceoff, drawing it back to Ehr, who went bar-down to launch a wild celebration on the Red Panther end of the ice.

Red Panthers goalie Emily Bubla stopped 17 shots in the game, while Tomahawk goalie Erin Spark had 40 saves.

The Red Panthers (7-13-3) will play the Central Wisconsin Storm Tuesday in the semifinal game at Greenheck Fieldhouse.

The Hatchets, who beat the Red Panthers twice this season, couldn't complete the tri-fecta and finished the season at 13-11-1.
