UND 1, Miami 0 — Riese Gaber 6 (Garrett Pyke, Louis Jamernik V) 8:27. UND doesn't have a shot on goal for the opening eight minutes, then converts on its first chance. Jamernik skating at the bottom of the right circle, makes a great drop pass to Pyke, who snaps a shot on net. Miami goalie Logan Neaton makes the initial stop, but Gaber pounces on the rebound at the side of the crease. Owen McLaughlin may be out, but Gaber's line stays hot.
UND 1, Miami 1 — P.J. Fletcher (Max Dukovac) 10:56. UND forward Jackson Blake tries a cross-ice pass that's picked off, starting a two-on-one the other way for Miami. UND goalie Ludvig Persson makes a save on Dukovac, but Fletcher is there to put away the rebound.
UND 2, Miami 1 — Griffin Ness 1 (Jackson Kunz, Dane Montgomery) 14:53. Kunz makes a nice touch pass in the defensive zone to send Ness on a rush up the right wing. Ness spots Montgomery cutting to the net and tries to hit him with a centering pass, but Miami back-checking forward John Waldron reaches his stick out, it goes off of Waldron's blade and past Neaton.
UND 3, Miami 1 — Riese Gaber 7 18:34. Waldron is circling in the offensive zone and Gaber forces a turnover and goes the other way on a breakaway. With Waldron trying to get back in the play, Gaber gets to the top of the crease, makes a move to his forehand and puts it away.
UND 4, Miami 1 — Jackson Blake 8 19:55. Gaber continues his outstanding game, forcing a turnover by poking the puck off of Miami forward William Hallen's stick. Then, RedHawks defenseman Hampus Rydqvist tries to clear it out of the zone, but hits his teammate in the back, allowing Blake to pick up the loose puck, go on a breakaway and score his eighth of the season. Gaber won't get a point on the play because Rydqvist had possession, but he started it. Blake, meanwhile, has scored in all six games he's played against the RedHawks.
