Miami hockey rallied from a 2-1 deficit against National Collegiate Hockey Conference opponents Colorado College to win 3-2 in overtime. Freshman forward Casey Gilling sent the game to overtime and junior forward Josh Melnick had the sudden-death goal that gave the RedHawks their first conference win of the season.
“That’s what’s in store for the rest of the year,” head coach Enrico Blasi said. “No surprise to me that in conference play it’s going to come down to the wire. It’s a tough league, tough teams, and I thought CC played extremely well tonight.
The RedHawks (4-3, 1-0 NCHC) and the Tigers (5-4, 1-2 NCHC) both played fast, gritty games marked by quick transitions.
