Sophomore right wing Ryan Fultz and junior blueliner Marc Barlow garnered assists on Day's lamp-lighter.
The Wildcats tied the game at two when Chris Gobert scored at the 14:03 mark of the middle stanza. Day responded with his second of the game just 1:17 after Gobert's tally. Day's team-leading sixth goal was assisted by Barlow.
NMU scored twice (16:50 and 19:30) in the final four minutes of the second period for a 4-3 advantage. Terry Harrison scored during a five-on-five while Gobert netted his second of the contest during a Wildcat power play.
BG's Ryan Murphy scored the game-tying goal at the 10:35 mark of the third period off assists from Kevin Bieksa and Grady Moore.
Falcon netminder Tyler Masters made 35 saves including five in overtime, while NMU goalie Dan Ragusett had 24 saves with two coming in overtime.
