The series began Friday when six different Omaha players scored but Joel Messner\u2019s game-winner with 6:48 left was what opened the floodgates in a 6-2 win.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, a Dawson DiPietro power play goal put Western out on the right foot 4:29 in, but UNO responded with four consecutive goals en route to a 7-3 win. David Pope and Tyler Vesel had two goals apiece.<\/p>\n<p>Omaha travels next week to face No. 5 St. Cloud State, while Western is on the road again to face Miami.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tigers get back on track<\/strong><br \/>\nTalking of Miami, the RedHawks\u2019 frustrating season continued at pace this weekend with a loss and a tie at fellow struggler Colorado College, which had previously won two of its last seven games.<\/p>\n<p>CC opened the series with a 6-3 victory on Friday. Brian Williams scored twice, including an empty-netter with 1:09 left, and four teammates also pushed the puck past Miami goalie Ryan Larkin.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s rematch saw the teams skate to a 4-4 tie before CC scored in a three-on-three overtime session to take two NCHC standings points when Christian Versich scored on a wraparound.<\/p>\n<p>CC is off next week ahead of a series at North Dakota on Feb. 9-10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Huskies, Bulldogs share spoils<\/strong><br \/>\nSt. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth are third and 10th in the PairWise, respectively, after splitting a series in Duluth.<\/p>\n<p>UMD burst out to a 5-1 win Friday at Amsoil Arena. Five different Bulldogs scored (three in the first period, two in the second) on UMD\u2019s 18 shots on goal, and St. Cloud\u2019s Ryan Poehling pulled one back midway through the third period. Special teams helped Duluth move out of sight in the second period as Parker Mackay and Karson Kuhlman scored shorthanded goals 2:30 apart.<\/p>\n<p>The rematch went SCSU\u2019s way, 2-1, thanks to Patrick Newell\u2019s eventual game-winner with 5:10 left in the second period. D\u00e1vid Hren\u00e1k then made 12 of his 19 saves in the third period to help the Huskies salvage a split.<\/p>\n<p>UMD faces another tough test next week as it visits fourth-ranked Denver, which skated to a pair of ties this weekend at North Dakota. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omaha moves up in PairWise Further proof of the NCHC\u2019s strength: Omaha is sixth in its conference and eighth nationally in the PairWise rankings.
