GRAND FORKS – No. 8 Quinnipiac scored five unanswered goals to rally for a 6-2 win over No. 3 North Dakota on Saturday night from Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, N.D.
UND (2-1-1) held a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes, but the Bobcats (2-0-2) turned the tables on the hosts with a trio of goals over a 4:01 span in the middle frame to hand the Fighting Hawks their first loss of the season.
Jackson Blake kept up his torrid scoring pace with his third goal of the season and an assist to notch his third multi-point game in four contests. Chris Jandric also added a helper to stretch his point streak to four games, matching his career high while at Alaska.
Riese Gaber made it goals in back-to-back games with a power play snipe in the first period, but the Bobcats tied the game midway through the second before taking a 3-2 lead just 19 seconds later to quiet the 11,680 fans in attendance.
Ethan de Jong struck twice to stretch the Bobcat advantage and Iivari Rasanen added an empty netter to seal the 6-2 victory.
North Dakota hits the road for the first time on the season for a showdown with Minnesota at 7:07 p.m. in Minneapolis.
