Senior Troy Conzo scored the game-winning goal with 2:29 remaining in the third period and freshman Dominic Basse had a career-high 42 saves as Colorado College swept the season series against No. 8 Minnesota Duluth with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory Thursday night at Amsoil Arena.
 
Conzo took a pass from Hunter McKown from behind the net and fired a one-timer from the left circle past UMD goalie Ryan Fanti for his second goal of the season. The Tigers (4-13-2) then survived the final 1:37 with an extra UMD attacker on the ice, including three saves by Basse and a pair of blocked shots by co-captain Zach Berzolla.
 
CC, which defeated the Bulldogs 4-1 earlier this season during the NCHC Pod in Omaha, Neb., snapped a nine-game losing streak and handed UMD its third consecutive loss.
 
Basse was stellar the entire 60 minutes, turning away 17 shots in the first period and helping the Tigers kill off a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:42 by the Bulldogs prior to the middle of the opening frame.
 
"This was a total team effort tonight," head coach Mike Haviland said. "We didn't pack it in after the first period. Dom was outstanding and gave us a chance to win. This was his best game of the season."
 
The Bulldogs' leading scorer, Nick Swaney, put UMD on the board just 19 seconds into the second period. Swaney took a pass from Wyatt Kaiser, slid to the slot, and placed a wrist shot past a screened Basse to take a 1-0 lead.
 
The Tigers played spirited hockey in the third period and it paid off when freshman Matthew Gleason evened the game at 1-1 with his first career goal during a Tiger power play. Gleason, playing in just his third game after joining the team in January, took a pass from Chase Foley at his own blue line, skated down the left side and behind the net before beating UMD goalie Ryan Fanti with a wrister from the right circle.
 
Basse took over from there, saving 14 Bulldog shots in the third period and posting the most saves by a Tiger goalie since teammate Matt Vernon had 43 at Minnesota Duluth on Nov. 22, 2019.
 
UMD (12-8-2) outshot the Tigers, 43-14, but did not convert on any of its three power-play opportunities. CC finished the game 1-for-3 on the power play.
 
The Tigers take on No. 6 St. Cloud State on Saturday, Feb. 20, beginning at noon (CT).
