Henrik Borgstrom and Jarid Lukosevicius each had a goal and an assist Friday night to lead the second-ranked Denver Pioneers to a 5-1 victory over Colorado College in front of a season-high crowd of 6,750 fans at The Broadmoor World Arena.
Â
Borgstrom opened the scoring at the 14:27 mark of the first period when he banked a shot from behind the net off CC goalie
Alex Leclerc. Lukosevicius and Liam Finlay assisted on the play.
Â
The Pioneers (17-6-6, 11-4-4-3 NCHC) then tacked on three goals in the second period to take a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes. After Colin Staub scored just one minute into the middle frame to make it 2-0, Tiger freshman
Brian Williams cut the lead in half with his third goal of the season at the 10:36 mark. Williams took a pass from
Tanner Ockey at the left-wing boards, cut in to the middle and fired a wrister from the slot past Denver goalie Tanner Jalliet.
Â
That was all Jalliet allowed behind him and Kohen Olischefski increased the lead back to two goals with a tally at the 13:14 mark. Logan O'Connor made it 4-1 with just 11 seconds left in the second, then Lukosevicius capped the scoring at the 5:49 mark of the third.
Â
Jalliet made 18 saves before giving way to Dayton Rasmussen with 1:04 left in the game, while Leclerc had 36 saves for the Tigers (12-13-4, 6-10-3-2 NCHC).
Â
Denver outshot Colorado College, 41-20, including a 12-4 mark in the third period and each team went 0-for-5 on the power play.

""It was just one of those games, head coach
Mike Haviland said. "We have to move on, get past it and hopefully rebound against a team that was hungrier."
