Get to know UND junior forward Gavin Lindberg

ST. PAUL, Minn. — UND forward Gavin Lindberg has eight points in nine games to start the season. He's UND's leading scorer at even strength (all of his points are 5-on-5). After scoring his first UND goal on Saturday night against Western Michigan, Lindberg spoke to the Herald on several topics. Q. Why was your line with Ollie Josephson and Cody Croal so successful last weekend? A. Just playing hard. Obviously, I think there's a lot of advanced things in the game now. I think we just kept it simple and kept getting to the net and kept it direct in a way. Q. Your 5-on-5 production has been really good. What leads to that? A. That's something I think I take a lot of pride in. If you're a good player, you need to be able to produce 5-on-5. Playing with a lot of speed and physicality and getting to the dirty areas helps a lot. Q. What's your history with the UND program? When did you learn about UND? Do you remember going to your first game? A. I remember living in Fergus Falls way back.
