Stanley Cooley and Noah Laba each scored twice and Kaidan Mbereko posted his first career shutout to lead Colorado College to a 5-0 victory over 19^th-ranked Minnesota Duluth Friday night at Ed Robson Arena.
 
The Tigers (4-5-0, 1-0-0 NCHC) continued their domination at home, improving to 4-0 this season and have outscored their opponents 23-3, including a 4-0 advantage after the first period on Friday. It marked the third time in four home games that CC has scored four goals in one period
 
Hunter McKown opened the scoring with his national-leading sixth power-play goal just 4:14 into the contest. He fired a shot from the top of the left circle that deflected off the shoulder of UMD goalie Zach Stejskal and into the net.
 
Cooley notched the first of his career-high two tallies at 7:17 when Tyler Coffey took a shot from the right circle that Stejskal saved, but Cooley was right on the doorstep for the rebound. Cooley then scored a power-play goal at 9:45 with another rebound goal, this time off a shot by Matthew Gleason.
 
Laba continued his hot start with his second two-goal effort of the '22-23 campaign. He made it 4-0 with just over five minutes to play and chased Stejskal from the game after stealing the puck along the left boards, cutting in front of the net and putting the puck in the net. Stejskal finished the game with five saves.
 
Laba scored the game's final goal at the 15:02 mark of the second period after another UMD turnover in its own zone. Coffey collected his second assist of the night on the play.
 
Mbereko was outstanding in his fourth career start, stopping a career-high 34 shots, including a game-high seven by Ben Steeves. The Bulldogs (4-5-0, 0-1-0) outshot Colorado College, 34-27 overall, and a 12-5 advantage in the third period.
 
The shutout was the first by a Colorado College freshman since Alex Leclerc blanked Merrimack, 3-0, on Dec. 28, 2016, at the Florida College Classic.
 
The Tigers will look for their first sweep of the season when the two teams battle on Saturday, Nov. 5, beginning at 6 p.m.
