No. 10 Omaha Rallies to Down Colorado College, 3-2
OMAHA, Neb. Despite a pair of goals from senior co-captain Grant Cruikshank, Colorado College dropped a 3-2 decision to 10

He slid down the slot, took a pass from Hunter McKown and beat Omaha goalie Isaiah Saville from the inside of the right circle for his team-high seventh goal of the season.
OMAHA, Neb. Isaiah Saville turned aside 43 shots as Nebraska-Omaha held off North Dakota to gain a split in their National Collegiate Hockey Conference weekend series.
