Sertich took over as head coach in 1982-83 and the Bulldogs reached unprecedented heights, making three consecutive eight-team NCAA tournaments. In 1984, UMD lost to Bowling Green in four overtimes in Lake Placid, N.Y., in the national title game, a loss that stuck with Sertich for a long time. The Bulldogs would not win their first national title until 2011.
