th-ranked Minnesota Duluth scored two goals in the final 1:41 to claim a 3-1 victory over Colorado College Saturday night at Robson Arena.
Â
Owen Gallatin had a goal and an assist and Derek Daschke added a pair of assists to help the Bulldogs avenged a 5-0 drubbing by CC on Friday night and even their record at 5-5-0 overall and 1-1-0 in the NCHC.
Â
Colorado College (4-6-0, 1-1-0 NCHC) jumped out to a 1-0 lead as team captain
Bryan Yoon scored his first goal of the season at the 12:09 mark of the first period. On the power play, Yoon took a pass from
Hunter McKown and fired a shot from the point that went over the right shoulder of UMD goalie Matthew Thiessen.
Â
Unfortunately, that was all the Tigers could put on the board. After outshooting Minnesota Duluth, 8-5, in the first 20 minutes, CC mustered just 12 in the last two periods, while the Bulldogs put 30 on CC goalie Kaidan Mbereko, who finished with 32 saves.
Â
Ben Steeves evened the score at 1-1 at the 7:08 mark of the second period with a power-play goal of his own. Gallatin found Steeves with a cross-ice pass and Steeves put the puck into an open net before Mbereko could slide into position.
Â
Gallatin, who had six shots on goal, one less than teammate Blake Biondi, scored the game winner with just 1:41 left in the third period. Trying to make a pass from the goal line to the front of the net, the puck bounced off the pad of Mbereko and went between his legs into the net.
Â
Biondi closed out the scoring with an empty-net goal with 36 seconds remaining.
Â
Despite scoring on their first power play, the Tigers were held scoreless in three other man-advantage opportunities in the game, while UMD was 1-for-3. The Bulldogs held a 35-20 advantage in shots and Thiessen made 19 saves.
Â
Colorado College returns to action next weekend at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Nov. 11-12.
