The win is the second time the Axemen captured an overtime victory against UNB in two meetings. At UNB, the Axemen picked up a 3-2 overtime shootout win over the V-reds.

The overtime victory is Acadia's fifth game beyond regulation and fourth win, while Farrell's overtime winner is his third overtime game winning goal of the season.

Acadia pounced on the V-Reds early with a powerplay goal by Subway second star of the game and second year forward Boston Leier (Saskatoon, Sask.) at the 5:04 mark of the first period.

Seven minutes later UNB's Jordan Murray (Riverview, N.B.) tied the game at one at 12:18 in the first frame, assisted by Rob Mignardi (Richmond Hill, Ont.).

Mignardi gave the Varsity Reds a 2-1 lead with three minutes remaining in the opening period. The man-advantage goal was the first allowed this season by the Axemen's penalty killing unit.

At 6:46 of the second period, Alex Wall (Mt. Pearl, Nfld.) scored UNB's second powerplay goal, giving the Varsity Reds a commanding 3-1 lead, but first year Axemen forward Daniel Pettersson (Toronto, Ont.) closed the margin by one with a late second frame goal. Pettersson shelfed the puck after a feed from Zachery Franko (Winnipeg, Man.) from below the faceoff circle.

Leier, who was named the Subway second star of the game, scored his second goal after a shot from the blueline by Liam Maaskant created a rebound that Leier patiently backhanded over a sprawling Dubeau to tie the game at three 11 minutes into the final period.

Farrell ended the game only 3:32 into the extra time, improving the Axemen to 7-2-1 with a 4-3 overtime win, while UNB falls to 8-0-2 and remains first place in the AUS standings.

Acadia will host the 5-5-2 UPEI Panthers tomorrow night and UNB travels to Halifax to take on the 5-4-1 Saint Mary's Huskies.
