The University of North Dakota with another solid win tonight. UND looked pretty good on the road on Friday night. That's two wins in a row on Friday night. With the win, UND improves to 8-6-1 on Friday nights.
UND will go for the sweep tomorrow night. UND is 13-0-2 on Saturday nights. Junior forward Drake Caggiula scored an absolutely filthy goal tonight. That ended up being the game-winning goal tonight.
Finally, UND benefitted from a blown call on the third goal. Steph Pattyn tripped a Western player in the UND goalmouth and UND defenseman Troy Stecher went up the ice and scored a nice goal.
Western Michigan head coach Andy Murray really went off on the officials after the UND goal. Edit: On second look, it looks like the trip might have directly caused the play that led to the goal.

"Our team’s got a short memory. If something doesn’t go our way, it’s a "‘next shift" mentality. That’s a pretty good trait." - Dave Hakstol

Murray was correct in his anger. And I'm interested to know what was called on the scrum. The Bronco captain giving an extra slap to Gaarder on the way to the box seems a bit egregious.
