UND beats No. 5 Western Michigan to complete unbeaten weekend

GRAND FORKS — Upon further review, UND may have a pretty good hockey team. The No. 10-ranked Fighting Hawks beat No. 5-ranked Western Michigan 4-1 on Saturday night, completing an impressive weekend in Ralph Engelstad Arena. UND (5-3-1) entered the series on a three-game losing streak, allowing 15 goals in that span. The Fighting Hawks proceeded to have convincing answers for their biggest questions while earning a win and a tie against the Broncos. That porous defense? Not this weekend. UND held the NCAA's No. 1 scoring offense to three goals in two games. The Broncos entered the weekend averaging 5.7 goals per game. Western Michigan mustered just 35 shots on goal during the series (17 on Friday, 18 on Saturday), the fewest on a weekend for the Broncos in 17 seasons. They entered the weekend averaging 42.4 shots per game. The need for a few more 5-on-5 goals? Not a problem Saturday.
