GameCenter final: UND 8, Miami 0

OXFORD, Ohio — UND's lengthy hat trick is finally over as Riese Gaber ripped home three goals and four points en route to a Fighting Hawks 8-0 victory. Jackson Blake and Mark Senden also had three-point nights.

First star: Riese Gaber, UND, 3 goals, 1 assist.
Second star: Jackson Blake, UND, 1 goal, 2 assists.
Third star: Mark Senden, UND, 3 assists.

UND 1, Miami 0 — Riese Gaber (Chris Jandric, Jackson Blake) 9:40 (pp). UND converts on its second power-play chance of the night. Gaber gets three looks from his spot. One is blocked. One is stopped by Miami goalie Logan Neaton's stick. The third time is the charm.

UND 2, Miami 0 — Judd Caulfield (Mark Senden) 4:17 (sh). Senden forces a turnover in the defensive zone, stealing the puck from Miami forward John Waldron. Caulfield joins the shorthanded rush and it becomes a two-on-one. Senden makes a nifty move to dip around the Miami defender and feed Caulfield, who puts it home.

UND 3, Miami 0 — Riese Gaber (Louis Jamernik V, Jackson Blake) 10:08. UND breaks the other way after a Miami rush. Blake enters the zone up the middle and dishes to Jamernik on the right side. Jamernik hits Gaber with a cross-ice pass and Gaber buries it for his first even-strength goal since the Bemidji State series on Thanksgiving weekend.

UND 4, Miami 0 — Jackson Blake (Riese Gaber, Mark Senden) 11:34 (pp). UND's power play continues to dominate. Gaber gets the puck in his spot and rifles a shot that Neaton stops. The rebound sits to the side of the crease and Senden takes a whack at it. The puck trickles to the other side of the crease and Blake puts it home.

UND 5, Miami 0 — Owen McLaughlin (Ty Farmer, Cooper Moore) 18:08 (pp). UND's power play is still relentless as it cashes it again. This time, it results in College Goal No. 1 for McLaughlin. It's a pretty one, too. He hammers a one-timer from the right circle into the top corner of the net.

UND 6, Miami 0 — Ben Strinden (Nick Portz, Ty Farmer) 7:52. UND shows no letup in the third. Portz has the puck along the left wall and spots Strinden in the center of the ice. Strinden snaps a shot just inside the post for his third goal of the season.

UND 7, Miami 0 — Dylan James (Carson Albrecht, Ethan Frisch) 8:25. UND adds the extra point as Albrecht has the puck behind the net and feeds James out front for a seventh UND goal. Every UND freshman has now scored tonight.

UND 8, Miami 0 — Riese Gaber (Ethan Frisch, Mark Senden) 19:11 (pp). Riese Gaber finally ends UND's lengthy hat trick drought. He rifles one home on the power play for his third of the game and fourth of the night.
