American International kept its season – and its NCAA Division I tenure – alive Friday night, knocking out RIT 2-1 in overtime to open the Atlantic Hockey America playoffs.<\/p>\n

Due to a scheduling conflict on AIC’s home ice at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass., the game was played at Tate Rink in West Point, N.Y.<\/p>\n

In overtime, Oscar Geschwind blocked an RIT shot at the top of the Yellow Jackets zone and took a quick return pass from Brett Rylance headed the other way for an odd-man rush. Geschwind fed Casey McDonald trailing in the slot for a one-timer under the bar past Tigers goalie Ethan David for the deciding goal at 6:01 of extra time.<\/p>\n
