Box Score Justin Parizek scored two of Omaha's three third-period goals Saturday as the Mavericks completed a weekend sweep of Colorado College with a 4-2 victory at The Broadmoor World Arena.
 
Omaha improved to 13-8-3 overall and 6-6 in the NCHC, while the Tigers fell to 6-14-2 and 2-8-2 in league play and are still looking for their first win at home this season (0-9).
 
The Tigers had a power play entering the third period of a 1-1 game, but David Pope notched a shorthanded goal just 18 seconds into the frame that put the Mavs ahead for good. He rolled down the right side of the ice and placed a wrister just under the crossbar past CC goalie Alex Leclerc.
 
Parizek then gave scored the game-winner to give Omaha a 3-1 lead at the 4:12 mark of the third. After Mav goalie Evan Weninger made a save on CC's Nick Halloran, Colin Grannary picked up the puck and skated the length of the ice before dropping a pass to Parizek, who buried a shot from the left circle.
 
The Tigers cut the lead to one with a power-play goal from freshman Alex Berardinelli, who took a feed from Halloran and was wide open in the slot for his fourth goal of the season, but Parizek closed the scoring with a power-play goal of his own with 8:23 left in the game.
 
"We showed some character in the third period," head coach Mike Haviland said. "We get a power-play goal, but then take another penalty and they made us pay."
 
The Tigers got on the board first for the third straight game as sophomore Tanner Ockey scored his first goal of the season. Ockey gathered the puck in the neutral zone and fired a wrist shot from the top of the right circle that eluded Weninger for an unassisted tally.
 
The Tigers controlled play for a good part of the second period, outshooting the Mavs 16-7, but Omaha scored the only goal of the frame when Luc Snuggerud fired a one-timer past a screened Leclerc with 3:01 remaining in the period.
 
Ockey looked like he had his second tally of the game but Weninger stuffed him from point-blank range with 10 seconds left in the middle frame. Weninger then did the same to CC freshman Bryce Van Horn just three minutes into the third period, when CC outshot the Mavericks 11-7. The Tigers finished with 32 shots, compared to 29 for Omaha.
 
"We had some point-blank chances in the second period and just could not capitalize," Haviland said. "When you get those chances, you have to take advantage."
 
Weninger finished the game with 30 saves, while Leclerc had 25. Omaha, which entered the game with the nation's third-best power play, was 1-for 2 Saturday and CC finished 1-for-5.
 
The Tigers head back out on the road next weekend to face Western Michigan, Jan. 20-21, in Kalamazoo, Mich.
