St. Olaf junior forward Jonathan Panisa scores the third-seeded Oles’ third goal of the MIAC semifinal game against second-seeded Bethel University Saturday, March 1 at the National Sports Center. Bethel led by one goal for most of the game, but the Oles responded in the third period with three goals in the span of nine minutes and 11 seconds. “They hang around until we make a mistake,” Royals head coach Chris Mckelvie said. “And it’s kind of a mirror image of last year in the playoffs.”
