Tigers stay perfect with another sweep
CC off to best start in 19 years
Colorado College trailed the University of Alaska Anchorage 4-0
late in the first period of Saturday night's Western Collegiate Hockey
Association game. And Steve Nelson felt awful.
"I was out there for three of the four goals," said Nelson, the right
wing on the Tigers' second line. "I just wanted to help the team however I
could."
He did, scoring two goals and setting up two others to help CC soar
to an amazing 9-6 comeback victory before 2,636 fans at the Broadmoor World
Arena. Perhaps his biggest assist was on Chad Remackel's goal with 40 seconds
to play in the first period - the slow-starting Tigers' first score of the
night.
Coupled with Friday's 3-2 win, CC's effort Saturday left the Tigers
alone atop the WCHA with a 4-0 record. Second-place Michigan Tech (3-1) is
CC's next foe.
CC, scoring three power-play goals, swamped freshman goaltender
Chris Davis with six second-period scores as the Tigers built a 7-5 lead.
Nelson, who scored eight goals and eight assists last season,
said the Tigers won this one for besieged goaltender Ryan Bach.
"Bach saved us three games in a row," said Nelson, a senior from
Albert Lea, Minn. "After the first period, we said, `Let's win this one
for Bach.' That set the tone right there. We did it as a team."
Fourteen Tigers contributed to the scoring. First-line center
Jay McNeill and freshman defenseman Eric Rud each scored a goal and set up
two more. Reynard scored two goals, and R.J. Enga had a goal and an assist.
Jim Paradise netted the other score. Peter Geronazzo and Kent Fearns had
two assists each.
Bach recovered to stop 14 of the Seawolves' final 16 shots en route
to an 18-save night. Davis finished with 35 saves.
"That's a different way to win, but the bottom line is we got two
points," first-year coach Don Lucia said after CC's first 4-0 WCHA start
since the 1974-75 season. "I thought about pulling Ryan after the first
period, but sometimes, a team has to win one for the goaltender."
"The big goal was Remackel's goal at the end of the first period.
That gave them (the Seawolves) something to think about."
UAA coach Brush Christiansen agonized over that score, and the
rally it fueled.
"We had no business giving up that first goal," Christiansen said.
"That gave them a little pump there."
"Then, we didn't play like we played the first period. Guys quit
skating, quit hitting. We started getting our silly penalties again."
CC took advantage of 13 UAA penalties to score on 5 of 10 power
plays. UAA was 1 for 3 in power plays.
Second-line wing Keith Morris led the Seawolves, 0-2 in the WCHA
and 1-3 overall, with a goal and three assists. Defenseman Todd Bethard,
younger brother of former Tiger Brian Bethard, scored one goal and set up
another. UAA lost first-line center David Vallieres early in the third
period when he was ejected for butt-ending with his stick.
Remackel launched the comeback at 19:20 of the first period when
he took Nelson's pass from the left corner and slapped a 25-foot shot
down the slot and into the goal.

---------
This was a good game to watch, once the Tigers got themselves into
it in the second and third periods. Alaska seems to be a physical team,
as I noticed a lot of pushing and shoving on their part out on the ice. One
of their players even got so angry after one of CC's scores that he threw
his stick into the stands. There's one question I have that maybe someone
can answer for me, as I've only been watching hockey for a year and a half
and don't know all the penalties. I didn't catch what happened, so could
someone explain what butt-ending means?
Well, next week should be some exciting games. Though the Tigers
are 4-0 and at the top right now, it has also been pointed out that our
opponents so far haven't won any league games, so Michigan Tech will be
quite a challenge.
