Miami hockey’s inability to play a full game led to the RedHawks falling prey to the No. 2/4 University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks 4-1 on Friday, but then battling for a 3-3 tie on Saturday.
“We battled hard tonight,” head coach Enrico Blasi said on Saturday to Miami Athletics. “The team played well to earn a 2-0 lead and we valued our process throughout the night. We took a push back from North Dakota, but stayed together after we fell behind to get the tying goal.”
North Dakota (7-2-3, 2-1-1-1 NCHC) took five of the six conference points this weekend and with the point from the tie, Miami now (4-5-1, 1-2-1-0 NCHC) sits sixth in the nine-team National Collegiate Hockey Conference standings.
