Box Score Freshman winger Alex Roos scored his seventh goal of the season at 7:12 of the third period on Friday, lifting Colorado College to a 4-4 tie with Western Michigan University in the opener of their two-game series at the World Arena.
 
CC salvaged a point in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference standings despite allowing the Broncos to rally from a 3-0 deficit late in the second period.
 
Western Michigan, which scored all four of its goals in a span of 8:35, got back in the contest with a pair of tallies late in the middle frame, then struck twice early in the third to grab a 4-3 lead with 14:14 left in regulation.
