HIDALGO, TX --

The first period was quiet as both teams remained scoreless in a tough match-up.

The 0-0 tie remained through the third period as well with both defenses continuing to close the door on the opposite offense.

The game was then sent into overtime as neither team could find the upper hand in regulation. Matt Hanson secured the win for Laredo on the power-play when he fired one from the point that got past Wylie Rogers.

Rogers had 35 saves in the net.
