Sunday morning quarterbacking - shot charts game 2

Last night the University of North Dakota and the UAA Seawolves played to a 3-3 ties. Since the Ralph Engelstad Arena opened in 2001, UND has a 5-7-25 record in overtime.

They say that a tie is like kissing your sister. One could say that there has been a lot of sister kissing at the REA.



UAA Seawolves head coach Dave Shyiak was pleased with his team’s effort in last night’s game.
“I think that was probably our best 60 minutes of the year,” Shyiak said. “ It was a hard earned tied It was a great hockey game. What we learned as a hockey team tonight is how we have to play. I thought we pressured the puck well, I thought we executed our game plan, we got good goaltending and we got contributions from everyone tonight.”



Senior forward Corban Knight was again dominate this weekend in the faceoff circle going 31-14, winning 68 percent of his draws. On the other end of the ice Matt Bailey was solid for the Seawolves.



Through four periods of hockey, UND senior forward Danny Kristo had four points (0g-4a—4pts). That streak ended in the second period of Saturday’s game. Freshman Rocco Grimaldi (2g-2a—4pts) and senior Danny Kristo (0g-4a—4pts) lead UND in points. Kristo has played two fewer games due to his two game suspension.
