No. 2 UND suffers first regulation defeat since Nov. 3 with 7-1 loss at No. 15/16 CC

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – No. 2 North Dakota dropped a 7-1 decision to No. 15/16 Colorado College on Friday night from Ed Robson Arena in Colorado Springs, Colo.

UND (20-7-2, 11-5-1 NCHC) becomes the final team in the nation to suffer a regulation loss during league play and sees its school record 21-game regulation unbeaten streak come to an end – the first since Nov. 3 at Boston University.
 
Colorado College (17-9-1, 11-6-0 NCHC) scored three times in the second period to turn a 2-1 game into a 5-1 contest while forward Zaccharya Wisdom tied the NCHC record with four goals to hand the Tigers their first three-game winning streak over North Dakota since 1995.
 
Riese Gaber scored the lone tally for the Fighting Hawks in the loss, knotting the game at 1-1 with his 15th goal of the season and seventh with the man advantage midway through the first period, but CC responded with a tally in the final two minutes of the opening frame to take a 2-1 lead into the intermission.
 
The Tigers took control over the final six minutes of the middle stanza, striking for a trio of goals in a 2:48 span to grab a 5-1 lead after 40 minutes.
 
CC added two more goals, both coming from Wisdom, in the final 20 minutes to seal the 7-1 victory and claim the season series over NoDak.
 
North Dakota will look to salvage a series split on Saturday night at 7:08 p.m. (CT) from Ed Robson Arena on NCHC.tv or the Home of Economy Radio Network.
