CALDWELL, Idaho - Jonah Gronmeyer scored a golden goal five minutes into the second overtime period, as No. 13 ranked Rocky Mountain escaped with a 3-2 victory over upset-minded College of Idaho at Simplot Stadium.

Despite a 34-10 deficit in total shots, the Yotes (4-3, 1-2 CCC) battled back from a two-goal deficit in the final 10 minutes - taking advantage of a RMC player being sent off due to a red card. C of I cut the deficit in half in the 83rd minute, as Ben Bechor slotted home a nice feed from Carter Perry, while less than four minutes later, Bechor tied the contest flicking home a perfect cross from Bekir Cinac.

The Bears (6-1, 2-1) dominated the first 80 minutes, getting a Ben Swenson goal in the opening five minutes to earn a lead, adding to the advantage in the 75th minute on a Jace Beck marker.  However, C of I freshman keeper Parker Billings kept the visitors at bay, making nine saves on the day.

Gronmeyer scored the winner after collecting a long ball - making a solid run into the box and driving home a 12-yard strike.

C of I returns to action next weekend with matches vs. Multnomah and Walla Walla.
