Schmaltz sends the Hawks into championship game
UND fans inside the arena were in shock, as the possibility of losing three straight NCAA Final Fours was just one goal away from being a reality. The Hawks, who have gone haven’t won a Final Four in their last six appearances, started to worry that history was going to repeat itself. While Denver was gaining the momentum, in came the CBS line with around a minute to play and the tension mounting. After a UND faceoff win, Boeser was able to quickly throw the puck at the net. While Jaillet was able to fight the puck off, UND forward Nick Schmaltz was able to coral the rebound and backhand the puck into the net giving the Hawks a 3-2 lead. “We went out there and made a play and won the game,” Schmaltz said. Rhett Gardner was able to put the nail in the coffin with an empty net goal for the for the 4-2 UND win. For the first time since 2005, the Fighting Hawks are on the way to the National Title game against the Quinnipiac Bobcats. - See more at: http://dakotastudent.com/8082/sports/schmaltz-sends-the-hawks-into-championship-game/#prettyPhoto
