Yuki Miura scored the biggest goal of his junior career Friday (April 30, 2017), lifting the visiting Waterloo Black Hawks to a 2-1 overtime win against the host Sioux City Musketeers in United States Hockey League West Conference Final action at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City.

Miuri’s goal ended 58:10 of shutout hockey as both teams scored in the opening 8:37 of the contest before goalies, Robbie Beydoun of the Black Hawks and Matiss Kivlenieks of the Musketeers took the game over.
