Gleb Veremyev scored on a breakaway 2:54 into overtime to give Colorado College a 3-2 victory Saturday night and a sweep over No. 1-ranked North Dakota, the first sweep by the Tigers in Grand Forks in 30 years.
 
Veremyev took a pass from Stanley Cooley during the 3-on-3 overtime period and found himself all alone against UND goalie Ludvig Persson. Veremyev put a backhand past Persson to lock in CC's first sweep at North Dakota since Nov. 26-27, 1993, and the first over a No. 1-ranked team since Jan. 8-9, 2005, at Minnesota.
 
In a game eerily similar to Friday night, when Noah Laba won it for the Tigers in overtime, team captain Logan Will scored twice and Kaidan Mbereko had 22 saves as CC improved to 9-6-1 overall and 4-4-0 in the NCHC.
 
Will put the Tigers on the board just 1:51 into the contest with his fourth goal of the season. Ryan Beck and Bret Link helped force a turnover in the North Dakota end, and Will, who hit the post three times last Saturday night against Arizona State, beat Persson from the slot.
 
Jackson Kunz evened the game with a power-play goal at the 12:51 mark of the second period, but Will notched his second of the game just 10 seconds later to put the Tigers back on top. Will took the puck into the offensive zone and whiffed on his initial shot, but then took a shot from the slot that deflected off Kunz's skate past Persson.
 
UND's Garrett Pyke made it 2-2 with 1:59 remaining in the middle frame with a shot from the left point that eluded Mbereko.
 
For the second straight night, neither team scored in the third period to force the extra frame. Each team attempted 24 shots, including a game-high four by Will. Persson finished the game with 21 saves.
 
The Tigers are idle until they host Minot State in an exhibition game on Friday, Dec. 29, at Ed Robson Arena, beginning at 7 p.m.
