Minnesota Duluth’s second straight championship also was the fourth straight for an NCHC team.
Mackay, a senior, scored the opening goal and also assisted on the Bulldogs’ second goal, scored by Mikey Anderson.
UMass not only was shut out, it was held to fewer than 20 shots on goal for only the second time all year.
The Bulldogs made sure three goals were more than enough, limiting UMass to just 18 shots on goal, including only six in the third period.
Saturday’s championship game drew an announced crowd of 13,051, the lowest since 2001.

Minnesota Duluth advanced to the national championship game with a 4-1 victory over Providence.
Denver was held to just 37 shots on goal in two victories at the West Regional.
“We don’t have that experience, but that’s all right,” UMass coach Greg Carvel says. “We have a lot of other things I’m excited about.”
Providence, Minnesota Duluth, Massachusetts and Denver each took the ice at KeyBank Center on Wednesday.
The Bulldogs kept their young defensive corps intact after winning the national championship last season.
