The teams traded power-play goals back and forth in the first half of the opening period, with Colorado College's Brett Chorske scoring two sandwiched around one from Jack Cronin.

Chorske opened the scoring 2:00 into the game, sliding in his own rebound after Ethan Pearson denied his original offering.

Cronin followed just over four minutes later with a wrist shot from the left circle, assisted by Pito Walton and David Jacobs.

It was Chorske again for the hosts as he tucked a shot from close range under the crossbar just past the midway mark of the opening period.

Colorado College again struck early in a period with a Noah Serdachny goal 1:37 into the second period. What seemed like a harmless feed towards the crease found the stick of Serdachny as he was falling to the ice and his scoop while falling snuck inside the post for a 3-1 CC lead.

The hosts made it 4-1 with 13:29 left in the second via a Logan Will breakaway goal. He started the sequence with a big hit in the neutral zone, and then snuck free for a stretch pass and slid home his fourth goal of the season. Danny Weight made the score 5-1 for CC with a slapshot 1:22 later.

Tyler Coffey scored 3:12 into the third period to give Colorado College a 6-1 lead. Serdachny netted his second of the game 0:54 later with a deflection in the slot.

Pito Walton connected for his fourth goal of the season 7:50 into the third period, finishing off a Jayden Sison pass into the slot.

Still Fighting.
