No. 19 Mavericks Secure Five-Point Weekend Over No. 10 Colorado College
Feb 24, 2024 | Hockey
For the second night in a row, Omaha captain Nolan Sullivan came up clutch with a big-time goal. Sullivan's sixth goal of the season with 2:55 left in regulation helped the Mavericks force OT in tonight's 1-1 tie with No. 10 Colorado College.
After an early goal by CC just 3:25 into the game, the Mavericks never wavered once in trying to bury the equalizer. Over the remainder of regulation, Omaha threw everything they had at Kaiden Mbereko and the Tigers including 19 shots alone in the 3rd period. The Mavericks dug deep, and Nolan Sullivan was there to put home a rebound on the CC doorstep.
Omaha had their chances in the overtime period but it would be the penalty kill that came up with the biggest two minutes of the contest tonight. The Mavericks killed their third penalty of the night with 1:36 left in the extra frame to maintain the 1-1 score and get the game to a shootout.
After this weekend's five-point series, Omaha is set to hop back on the road to face the Miami RedHawks next weekend in Oxford, Ohio.
NOTES
Omaha outshot the Tigers 42-19 tonight. They held CC to just three shots in both the 2nd and 3rd period.
The Mavericks went 3-3 on the PK tonight and improve to 9-4-4 when not allowing a power play goal.
Junior defenseman Victor Mancini played in his 100th career game tonight for the Mavericks.
Sullivan has points in five of his last six games and is riding a three-game goal streak after this evening.
Sophomore netminder Simon Latkoczy stopped 42 of the 43 shots he faced this weekend. He and the Mavericks are now 3-0 in NCHC shootouts this season.
For the second night in a row, the Mavericks won the draw battle against the second-best faceoff team in the country. Omaha won 32 of 57 draws (56.1%) tonight.
