Colorado College could not overcome four second-period goals by North Dakota and fell to the fourth-ranked Fighting Hawks, 6-4, Saturday night at The Broadmoor World Arena.
 
Despite the loss, the Tigers (5-3-0, 1-1-0) are off to their best start since the 2012-13 campaign and scored six goals in the weekend series against North Dakota, which allowed just seven in their first six games.
 
"We had a bit of a slow start tonight, I don't think we were quite ready to play," head coach Mike Haviland said. "But anytime you can split with the No. 4 team in the country, that's a good thing."
 
Nick Halloran scored an unassisted goal at the 6:25 mark of the second period and Mason Bergh scored his NCAA-leading seventh of the season just 2:02 later to give CC a 2-1 lead. Nick Jones scored on the power play at the 9:19 mark for the first of three consecutive goals by the Fighting Hawks , including two in a 14-second span by Austin Poganski and Gabe Bast, to take a 4-2 advantage midway through the frame.
 
"We gained some momentum with our two goals, then gave it right back with two quick goals and some soft plays with the puck," Haviland said.
 
Alex Berardinelli cut the lead to one with his first goal of the season at the 14:46 mark of the second, but Jordan Kawaguchi notched the seventh goal of the period with 2:20 left to extend UND's lead to 5-3.
 
Grant Mismash scored his second of the game just 51 seconds into the third and Trevor Gooch scored his second of the season with 6:10 remaining in the game to close the scoring.
 
"We believe we can play with anyone in the country," Haviland said. "We just need to keep pushing."
 
North Dakota (5-2-1, 1-1-0 NCHC) outshot CC by a 33-27 margin and Mismash led all players with nine shots. Bergh led the Tigers with five and Berardinelli equaled his season high with four. Alex Leclerc made 27 saves for Colorado College, while UND's Cam Johnson finished with 23.
 
The Tigers travel to Oxford, Ohio, for a weekend series with Miami University, Nov. 3-4.
