Box Score The University of Minnesota Duluth erupted for five goals in the second period, scoring four of those in a seven-minute span, and went on to derail host Michigan Tech University 5-2 Saturday night  to complete a series sweep of its long-time rivals.

Freshman right winger Tanner Laderoute capped off that scoring spree with two straight goals for the No. 3 Bulldogs, who improved to 2-1-1 overall.  The No. 19 Huskies are 0-2-0 after falling 2-1 to UMD in their 2018-19 debut.

UMD, which has yet to score in the first period this season, and Michigan Tech were deadlocked at 0-0 until 1:17 into the second period when Bulldog sophomore defenseman Dylan Samberg buried a shot from inside left faceoff cirlcle. The Huskies answered four minutes later before the Bulldogs reeled off four straight goals -- two by Laderoute and one each by junior left winger Riley Tufte (on the power play) and senior right winger Parker Mackay (his second in as many nights).  The Bulldogs, now unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 visits to the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena, finished with a commanding 38-13 shot advantage and held the Huskies to just two shots in the opening period (both coming in the final minutes of play).

The Bulldogs went 1-of-4 on the power play while Michigan Tech was failed to score with the man advantage (0-of-2) for the second straight night.

UMD will return to AMSOIL Arena this Friday night to open a two-game non-conference series with the University of Maine. The Black Bears have not played in Duluth since Jan. 7, 1989.
