Colorado College handled Massachusetts 6-1 in regulation, and the margin was built in layers rather than one burst. The Tigers scored in all three periods and never trailed.
A 1-0 first period gave Colorado College the lead, and the second went 2-1 in their favor to make it 3-1 after forty minutes — the Minutemen's only answer of the night came in that frame. The third was the closer: three unanswered goals and a 6-1 final.
The number that frames it is three — Colorado College won every period, and after conceding once in the middle, posted a clean sheet over the final twenty while adding half their goal total.
