Augustana finished off the weekend sweep over No. 8 Colorado College by a score of 3-2 Saturday night at Ed Robson Arena in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

The Vikings netted the go-ahead goal with 1:29 to play in the third period from Nace Langus and were backstopped by Josh Kotai’s 45 saves in goal.<\/p>\n

Colorado College opened up Saturday’s affair with multiple scoring chances but struggled to find an answer to Kotai’s performance in the net. CC broke the deadlock with 46.7 seconds remaining in the period with a wrist shot from Noah Laba.<\/p>\n

The Tigers continued their offensive drive into the opening minutes of the second period with a disallowed goal after a successful challenge from Augustana for goaltender interference. The Tigers ran into penalty problems throughout the frame and allowed Augustana ample chances on offense.<\/p>\n
