OXFORD, Ohio — Hampus Rydqvist scored in the opening minute of the third period, but Miami was unable to find a late equalizer in a 2-1 loss to Colorado College Saturday at Steve "Coach" Cady Arena. The RedHawks (4-6-2, 0-5-1 NCHC) out-shot the Tigers (5-6-1, 2-1-1 NCHC) 15-2 in the final period but CC's power-play goals in each of the first two periods ended up being enough to decide the series finale.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

14:12 1st (Colorado College 1-0) | Colorado College went up 1-0 in the first period on a power-play opportunity. Hovering around Miami's zone, Matthew Gleason sent the puck to Stanley Cooley, whose stick deflected it away from the net. Tyler Coffey picked up the rebound, burying the goal to give the Tigers the lead.
19:24 2nd (Colorado College 2-0) | Striking late in the second period, Colorado College further extended its lead. On the power play, Ryan Beck slammed the puck toward the net, with Gleb Veremyev getting a touch on it before it slid across to Hunter McKown. McKown's shot sealed the 2-0 goal for the Tigers.
00:36 3rd (Miami 2-1) | Miami managed to put one on the board just seconds into the final period. Bringing the puck out of the RedHawks' zone, Dylan Moulton made a long pass down the ice to Matthew Barbolini, who moved across the Colorado College blue line. Rydqvist received a quick delivery and ripped a goal past CC's Kaidan Mbereko to close the margin to 2-1.
