Brady Risk scored three goals and Simon Latkoczy had 42 saves to lead Omaha to a 5-2 victory over No. 13 Colorado College Friday night at Baxter Arena.
 
Omaha (9-10-0, 5-4-0 NCHC) struck first with a power-play goal in the final seconds of the first period. Risk took a centering pass from Sam Stange and sent a wrist shot past CC goaltender Kaidan Mbereko with 7.7 seconds remaining in the opening frame.
 
Stange doubled the Maverick lead with a goal just 2:30 into the second period, then the teams combined for three goals in a span of one minute, 23 seconds later in the frame.
 
Ty Gallagher put the Tigers (10-8-1, 4-4-1) on the board with a wrist shot from the right point after Noah Laba collected his team-leading 11^th assist by winning a faceoff that went right to Gallagher, who scored at the 4:19 mark.
 
Omaha responded just 13 seconds later when Risk scored his second of the game on a rebound after Mbereko saved a shot by Myles Hilman.
 
Zaccharya Wisdom closed the gap to 3-2 with his fourth goal of the season at 5:42 of the middle frame. He was parked at the left side of the net and Max Burkholder found him with a cross-ice pass for an easy tip-in goal. Noah Laba collected his second helper of the game on the play.
 
It appeared the Tigers evened the score midway through the second period when Chase McLane tipped in a shot by Ryan Koering, but Omaha challenged the play for offside and the goal was disallowed after review.
 
The Mavericks put the game away with a pair of goals in the third period. Cam Mitchell made it 4-2 just three minutes into the frame. Marcus Broberg sent a shot from the left point that Mbereko thought he had control of, but the puck leaked behind him and Mitchell tapped it in.
 
Risk completed his hat trick at the 8:01 mark when Harrison Israels took the puck behind the net, then found Risk all alone on the opposite side and he found the open net.
 
The Tigers outshot Omaha, 44-29, their second straight game with more than 40 shots. Omaha was 1-for-3 on the power play while the Tigers were 0-for-2. Mbereko finished with 24 saves.
 
The two teams will battle again on Saturday, Jan. 11, beginning at 7 p.m. (CT).
