Western Michigan won its first college hockey national championship in program history on Saturday night with a 6-2 victory over traditional power Boston University at St. Louis' Enterprise Center.
Sophomore forward Owen Michaels scored two goals in the third period, the first of which essentially clinched the game by giving the Broncos a 4-2 lead. The second was an empty-netter, carrying WMU to the title after advancing to the NCAA Frozen Four for the first time.
Ty Henricks and Cole Crusberg-Roseen also scored goals, while Iiro Hakkarainen and Wyatt Schingoethe each recorded a goal and an assist in the decisive win.
