ST. PAUL, Minn. - Colorado College's penalty kill met its match Saturday.
North Dakota went 3 for 7 on the power play, paving the way to a 4-2 win in the third-place game of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Five.
North Dakota, which went 2 of 6 on the power play in its 6-2 win over CC on Nov. 2, is the only team this season to score multiple power-play goals against CC.
"They move it quick," coach Scott Owens said. "We're one of the more aggressive penalty-killing teams in the country. We're going to get beat from time to time but, doggone it, it's going to be on three passes."
North Dakota center T.J. Oshie scored on a botched clear by defenseman Jake Gannon. Center Chris VandeVelde tipped in defenseman Taylor Chorney's shot from the high slot. Defenseman Chay Genoway beat defenseman Kris Fredheim wide before plowing over goaltender Richard Bachman.
"That was as good of a power play as we've seen all year," Owens said.
CC's success ratio dropped to 89.4 percent (143 for 160), tying the Tigers' unit for first in the nation with Miami (Ohio).

I want to feel bad... I really, really, really, really, really do. But I don't. GO DU!
Same here. If only CC could pull it. Oh well. There's always that free hockey orgy down in the springs. Enjoy CC!
I had a really hard time wanting either team to win. In the end I'm happy with the results because CC loses the 1 seed and most likely gets
UND in their bracket.

Any word from CC as to when they will hoist their banner honoring its 4th place finish? The chokemeisters have done it was again.
