Colorado College wins back-to-back WCHA championships tonight by defeating
Michigan Tech 4-3.  They must've had everything prepared just in case,
because the commisioner was there, along with the MacNaughton Cup out of the
trophy case in El Pomar, for a presentation immediately after the game.  They
also finally got our 1994 championship banner put up, along with one for this
year.
  In the first period the Tigers got three goals.  Kent Fearns scored on a
power play 2:45 in and set a new record for power play goals in a season with
57 for the team.  Goals were also made by David Paxton and Jason Gudmundson.
The bad news for Tech this period was losing Pat Mikesch to a possible severe
ankle sprain.  He had to be helped off the ice to the locker room and was
taken to a hospital for x-rays.  The Tigers led 3-0 at the end of the period.
  The Huskies would get on the board in the second, as Jim Roy got a breakaway
short-handed goal, beating the CC defensemen.  CC got that one back with about
a minute left on a goal by Colin Schmidt.
  Tech got in two more goals in the third, another one by Jim Roy and one by
Jason Wright, a 6-on-4 power play goal in the last two minutes, but the Tigers
held on the last minute to get the win and the championship.
  This was one of those games where luck just went to the Tigers.  Tech was
playing better, winning more faceoffs and better passing, but just couldn't
seem to get much past goaltender Ryan Bach.  The crowd was another sellout at
2,952.
  Same two teams tomorrow afternoon.
