Colorado College returned from a two-week break with a win on Friday, as the Tigers beat Minnesota Duluth 3-0 on the road.

Patrick Cozzi got the Tigers on the board early with a shorthanded goal.

Noah Prokop and Connor Mayer assisted on Cozzi’s goal.

CC (6-8-1) extended its lead in the next period when Hunter Mckown scored his eighth goal of the year. Stanley Cooley and Matthew Gleason assisted.

Mckown sealed the game for the Tigers in the third, scoring on an empty net.

Freshman Kaidan Mbereko logged a shutout, recording 39 saves.

It marked Mbereko’s second shutout of UMD in less than a month.
