Tigers 5, Mavs 2, final

Minnesota State thought it had freshman goaltending sensation Richard Bachman figured out when it took a 2-0 lead on No. 4 Colorado College. But Bachman stopped 20 shots in the second period and finished with 33 to allow his team to score five unanswered goals.

The Tigers scored three power-play goals, including Scott McCulloch's game-winner with 3:07 remaining in the second period.

The Mavericks had a prime chance to take that 3-2 lead during a 5-on-3 power play with about five minutes left in the second, but Bachman nearly did a cartwheel to kick away Kael Mouillierat's open shot below the right circle.

"I was stunned," Mouillierat said.

Minnesota State 2-0-0--2
