UND Beats Miami 6-4 in Game One


The University of North Dakota hockey team opened their conference schedule at home with a 6-4 win against the Miami RedHawks. 

UND Scored two in the first period, three in the second period and one in the third period. At the 11:59 mark of the first period, graduate forward Hunter Johannes would get UND on the board with this beautful goal from the top of the circles. That was goal number six of the year. Assists Cameron Berg and Jackson Blake.

At the 14:32 mark of the first period, freshman forward Jayden Perron would give UND a 2-0 lead with his sixth goal of the seasons. Assists by Hunter Johannes, Cameron Berg. Perron has yet to record an assist, he has 6 goals in 11 games. Johannes now has two multi-point games on the season. Last season, he has seven multi-point games with Lindenwood.  At the 7:52 mark of the second period, Owen McLauglin give UND a 3-0 lead. Assists Jackson Blake and Riese Gaber. Miami would get two quick goals less than a minutes apart by PJ Fletcher, and Matthew Barbolini. Unfortunately, the RedHawks didn't post the goals on their Twitter page.

At the 12:42 mark of the second period, UND would take a two goal lead with a goal from Jackson Blake. The RedHawks would challenge the goal for a handpass, but the goal would stand. Less than two minutes later, senior forward Carson Albrecht assist Owen McLaughlin. In the pregame, I was talking to Virg Foss and he said that Albrecht was going to score tonight. He's also add an assist later in the game. UND didn't take long to open the scoring in the third period. Seven seconds in sophomore forward Dylan James would give UND a 6-2 lead. That would close out the scoring or UND. Albrecht would pick up the assist.
Miami would scored to goals in the final two minutes of the game to make the score 6-4.

History Made: Jackson Blake's Goal Helps UND Break a 33-Year Drought



In his 47 games with the UND hockey team, sophomore forward Jackson Blake has scored 22 goals and 52 points. On Saturday night, Blake's 22nd career goal proved to be an important, historic goal. With Blake's overtime marker, the UND hockey team broke a 33-year drought. The UND hockey team hadn't won against BU in Boston since March 16, 1990. That streak is over! 

The Goal in Question 


Twenty seconds into Saturday's 3-on-3 overtime, UND forward Jackson Blake moved up the right side took a feed from Owen McLaughlin entered the BU zone cut in front of the Terrier goalie Mathieu Caron, and scored an overtime winner to give UND a 5-4 win. Blake's goal helped UND salvage a series split against the highflying Boston University Terriers. That was the second career overtime goal of Blake's career. His goal was a thing of beauty, his celly was even better. Right in front of the BU bench. 

"To come in here and win on a Saturday night is so big for us," Blake told the Grand Forks Herald. "We have a lot of transfers and freshman, so to get their first road experience with us is huge. Getting a win on Saturday, there's nothing better."

Here are a couple of stats from the UND hockey SID Alec Johnson. 
  • First, as mentioned above, the UND hockey team hadn't beaten BU in Boston in 33 years. 
  • UND snapped a six-game winless streak against Boston University dating back to 2012. 
  • With the win, UND improved to 13-12-2 all-time against Boston University and 5-8-1 in Boston. 
  • UND is 8-4-1 against BU in a city not named Boston. 
  • Finally, Blake recorded his 16th game with multiple points in his career and his fourth three-point night
