SIOUX FALLS – Fittingly, the farm kid from southwestern Minnesota kept the Gophers' hockey season alive on the South Dakota prairie. Jaxon Nelson, the senior center from Magnolia, Minn. — a 40-mile drive away — scored the tying goal at 9:15 of the third period and netted the winner with 4:13 to play as the Gophers rallied to defeat Nebraska Omaha 3-2 on Thursday night in the second NCAA Sioux Falls Regional semifinal at the Denny Sanford Premier Center.
