Maybe Colorado College just needed to get away from home.

Opening their first out-of-state road trip in more than a month, the Tigers certainly made a statement at Michigan Tech on Friday.

CC broke open a tight game with four goals in the third period and coasted to an impressive 7-3 victory over the Huskies at MacInnes Student Ice Arena in Houghton, Mich.

Sophomores Andrew Hamburg and Rylan Schwartz each scored twice, while freshman left wing Jaden Schwartz collected four assists. Junior center Nick Dineen clicked for a goal and helped set up two others.  

With its second consecutive WCHA triumph, Colorado College improved to 7-7-1 overall and 4-5 in league play.

The bookend goals by Rylan Schwartz, who also picked up an assist on Dineen's late red lighter, came just eight seconds into and with nine seconds left in the second period. They gave CC leads of 2-0 and 3-2.

Hamburg, who put the Tigers up 1-0 at 14:07 of the first period, struck for the game winner at 5:35 of the third, with assists going to Dineen and junior left wing Tim Hall.

Michigan Tech got solo tallies from freshmen Jacob Johnstone, Milos Gordic and Ryan Furne. Johnstone and Gordic struck just 38 seconds apart early in the middle stanza to wipe out a 2-0 deficit. Johnstone started the comeback at 4:15 with a shorthanded goal, the fifth that CC has allowed this season. Sophomore netminder Kevin Genoe, who made half of his 40 saves in the first period, drew an assist.

Seniors Tyler Johnson and Ryan Lowery also scored in Colorado College's third-period uprising as the Tigers finished with a season-high 47 shots on goal. Johnson added an assist.

The goals by Lowery and Dineen, which completed the third period uprising, both came on power plays and were only 39 seconds apart, at 16:32 and 17:11. Joe Howe backstopped the victory with 31 saves.
