Connor Hvidston and Drew Montgomery each collected a goal and an assist and Kaidan Mbereko made 30 saves to lead Colorado College to a 3-1 victory over Omaha Saturday night at Baxter Arena.
 
Fisher Scott added a pair of assists for the Tigers, who improved to 10-11-3 overall and 4-7-3 in the NCHC.
 
Omaha (9-17-0, 5-11-0 NCHC) put the first goal on the board just seconds after the Tigers killed off a power play. Brett Hyland to a centering pass from Trevor Wong and beat Mbereko from the slot at the 12:04 mark of the first period..
 
Mbereko came up with some outstanding saves in the first 20 minutes as Omaha held a 21-8 shot advantage after the opening frame. The senior from Aspen, Colo., had 12 of his 20 first-period saves come during three Omaha power plays.
 
The Tigers turned the tide in the second period, outshooting Omaha, 16-4, and outscoring the Mavericks, 2-0.
 
Klavs Veinbergs evened things up with a power-play goal, his team-high seventh of the season, at the 6:49 mark of the period. Mats Lindgren sent his own rebound shot towards the net from the slot and it deflected off Veinbergs in front past Omaha goalie Simon Latkoczy (32 saves). The officials reviewed the play for goaltender interference, but the call was upheld.
 
Connor Hvidston, who assisted on Veinbergs goal, put the Tigers ahead at the 15:58 mark after taking a pass from Montgomery, flying down the right side and firing a wrister from the right circle that cleanly beat Latkoczy, giving Hvidston his second multi-point game of his career.
 
The Tiger defense stifled Omaha the rest of the middle period and all of the third and Montgomery gave CC an insurance goal with an empty-netter with 52.3 seconds left.
 
The Tigers outshot Omaha, 35-31, including a 27-10 advantage in the final 40 minutes. The Tigers did not take a penalty in the final two periods after killing off all three in the first period.
