Repeat

Congratulations to the Denver University Pioneers on their 4-1 win over the North Dakota Fighting Sioux tonight. The Pioneers played better and better as the game went on, their d-men were outstanding, and their goalie Peter Mannino was nearly unbeatable.

Denver moves into a second-place tie with North Dakota with seven titles all-time.

Sioux coach Dave Hakstol did not become the first rookie coach to win a national title. I am reminded of one Gino Gasparini, who lost in the title game his first year and then came back the next year and won it all.
