Bulldogs coach Scott Sandelin depended on leadership from captain Karson Kuhlman during periods of learning and in times of difficulty.
Kobe Roth suffered a fractured tibia in the first period Saturday, but linemates Jade Miller and Billy Exell added captain Karson Kuhlman to the mix and contributed a goal.
“We haven’t been able to find that third goal, for whatever reason,” Duluth coach Scott Sandelin said. “I was hoping tonight would be [the night].”
The Bulldogs won all four of their NCAA tournament games by one goal, including the last three by 2-1 scores.
