Rieger Lorenz and Sam Harris each had a goal and an assist to lead No. 8 Denver to a 4-1 victory over Colorado College Saturday night at Magness Arena.
 
Fisher Scott scored CC's lone goal and Kaiden Mbereko made 34 saves for the Tigers, who fell to 11-13-4 overall and 5-9-4 in the NCHC.
 
Denver (17-11-3, 13-6-1 NCHC) jumped out to a 2-0 lead with goals 1:44 apart in the first period. Mbereko saved a shot by Cale Ashcroft, but the rebound came to Harris at the right circle, who sent a cross-ice pass to Kristian Epperson, who had an open net from the left circle at the 12:29 mark.
 
Garrett Brown made it 2-0 at the 14:13 mark with an unassisted goal. Following another save by Mbereko, the puck squirted out from the crease and Brown was there at the right circle to fire a one-timer past Mbereko.
 
Scott narrowed the gap to 2-1 with just 30 seconds remaining in the opening frame. He took a drop pass from Gavin Lindberg and beat Denver goalie Johnny Hicks (17 saves) from the high slot for his second goal of the season. Lindberg collected his 12^th assist this year, while Tomas Mrsic notched his fifth.
 
Lorenz put the Pioneers back up by two at the 5:11 mark of the second period. He took a pass from James Reeder from the right boards and himself on-on-one with Mbereko down the slot. Lorenz went from his backhand to forehand and scored from the left post.
 
CC's Philippe Blais-Savoie was issued a five-minute major for spearing and a game misconduct at the end of the second period, and the Pioneers took advantage as Harris scored on a one-timer from the right circle just 50 seconds into the period to make it 4-1.
 
Denver put 39 shots on goal, compared to a season-low 18 for the Tigers. DU was 1-for-5 on the power play, while CC was 0-for-2.
 
The Tigers return to action next weekend with a series at St. Cloud State, Feb. 13-14, at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
