 BU's goaltender, Scott Cashman, had over played Beaufait and left the net essentially vacated so when Plandowski shot the puck there was no one there to stop it and NMU's eighth goal of the night ended one of craziest games in NCAA history.Beattie and Plandowski became the first two players to score hat-tricks in the same NCAA Championship game, a feat that has not been repeated since (as of 2019).Scott Beattie was named as the Tournament MOP and his hat-trick in the finale gave him the program record for goals in a season (48).
