Denver, UND share spoils<\/strong>
\nIt was difficult to imagine anything other than a split when top-ranked Denver hosted No. 3 North Dakota last weekend, and while that’s what we got, we had an interesting ride along the way.<\/p>\n

In Friday’s opener, UND dug out of a 3-0 hole and took a 4-3 lead six minutes into the third period on a power play goal from Christian Wolanin. Denver’s Troy Terry tied the game at four midway through the period on another power play before Johnny Simonson scored the game-winner 2:31 from time by deflecting in a shot from the point by Hayden Shaw.<\/p>\n

Denver exacted revenge Saturday night with a 4-1 win over the Fighting Hawks. Three DU goals came on power plays in a game in which the penalty minutes were 27-2 against UND. Henrik Borgstrom had two goals and as many assists, while Terry had a goal and two helpers.<\/p>\n

DU (7-3-2) is off this week ahead of a trip Dec. 1-2 to Minnesota Duluth. UND (8-3-3) hosts Union this weekend.
\n
\nHuskies roll to sweep<\/strong>
\nColorado College came into last weekend with already seven wins to their names, but it would’ve been impressive for them to get an eighth or ninth at second-ranked St. Cloud State.<\/p>\n

Neither one happened. Instead, SCSU rolled to a pair of victories, trouncing the Tigers 6-1 on Friday before beating CC again 5-1 in Saturday’s rematch.<\/p>\n

After going 0-3 on the power play in Friday’s win, St. Cloud scored three times with the man advantage Saturday. Four Huskies goals came in a busy third period off the sticks of four different SCSU skaters. That perhaps comes as no surprise, considering six different Huskies scored in Friday’s win.<\/p>\n

SCSU (9-2), which could take the country’s top spot today, is off until it visits Omaha next weekend. CC (7-7) won’t play again until the Tigers’ home-and-home series with Denver on Dec. 7-8.
\n
\nBroncos remain strong at home<\/strong>
\nFifteenth-ranked Western Michigan is now 7-1-1 at home this season after a sweep last weekend of Omaha.<\/p>\n

In Friday’s 4-1 win, the Broncos scored the game’s opening four goals before Teemu Pulkkinen ruined Western goaltender Ben Blacker’s shutout bid with 52 seconds to go. On Saturday, WMU got two first-period goals from Wade Allison before three teammates also found the back of the net en route to a 5-2 victory.<\/p>\n

Ethen Frank found Western’s fourth goal of the night particularly memorable. A native of Papillion, Neb., located in the Omaha metropolitan area, scored shorthanded after teammate Hugh McGing blocked a UNO shot.<\/p>\n

Frank played youth hockey in Omaha and played in juniors an hour away in Lincoln. He was quoted Sunday in the Omaha World-Herald<\/a> after scoring against the Mavericks. Frank verbally committed to Western in 2014.<\/p>\n

WMU (8-4-1) hosts No. 19 Colgate later this week, while Omaha (4-5-1) welcomes former CCHA rival Northern Michigan to Baxter Arena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
