PRESENTED BY The Colorado College Tigers put together their most complete game of the season Saturday night and knocked off No. 1 Minnesota Duluth, 2-1, for their first-ever victory at AMSOIL Arena and a four-point weekend against the NCHC-leading Bulldogs. Mason Bergh and Teemu Kivihalme scored for the Tigers and Alex Leclerc continued his outstanding play in the net with 26 saves as CC earned its first win over No. 1-ranked team since March 22, 2013, a 2-0 victory over Minnesota at the WCHA Final Five. Colorado College (6-12-2, 2-6-2 NCHC) evened its win total from each of the last two seasons and is 3-1-2 in its last six games. "This is a huge win for our program," head coach Mike Haviland said. "We played hard for six periods this weekend and this was a total team win tonight." No. 1 Goes Down! with the 2-1 upset of No. 1 Minnesota Duluth. — NCAA Ice Hockey (@NCAAIceHockey) Bergh opened the scoring with his team-leading 10th goal of the season just 3:46 into the contest. Senior Luc Gerdes found fellow senior Matt Hansen, who flipped a pass in front to Bergh, whose back was to the net. Bergh spun and placed a shot past the stick side of UMD goalie Hunter Miska. "That was a huge goal by Mason," Haviland said. "It really settled us down and gave us a lot of confidence. The first period was so important tonight. We said 'Let's go at them and see how they respond to us.'" RELATED: Highlights of CC's victory over No. 1 Minnesota Duluth Saturday night in Duluth. — CC Hockey (@CC_Hockey1)
