“That was a great hockey game for 60 minutes. It was a great character win for us," said Colorado College head coach Mike Haviland. “This was a very entertaining game for both sides.”
Nick Halloran tied his career high with three assists
Grant Cruikshank led the Tigers with a career-high six shots on goal
The two teams play again on Saturday, Oct. 12, beginning at 7 p.m., at the Broadmoor World Arena
