U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. --- Air Force junior Carter Clafton made a career-high 58 saves as the Falcons tied fifth-ranked Denver, 1-1 in overtime, Friday, Oct. 10, at a sold out Cadet Ice Arena.

Denver (0-0-1) won the shootout, 2-1, on goals by Kyle Chyzowski and Sam Harris and two saves by Quentin Miller. Denver outshot Air Force, 59-24. DU was 0-for-2 on the power play while Air Force was 0-for-3.
