The final score wasn’t indicative of the game, but round one of a scheduled six-round heavyweight battle between No. 2 North Dakota and No. 9 Omaha went to the Fighting Hawks, who scored the game’s final five goals to win, 6-2.<\/p>\n

Friday was the first of six games that these two teams will play over the closing week’s of the NCHC regular-season.<\/p>\n

North Dakota got offense up and down the lineup as six different players recorded goals. On the back end, Adam Scheel was once again phenomenal in net making 30 saves, none bigger than a save by Taylor Ward as the Fighting Hawks killed a major power play while clinging to a two-goal lead late.<\/p>\n
