Lundgren picked up his third assist in four minutes, a crucial part of the offense tonight.
While many may be thrilled with three goals in one period, the offense continued to be relentless as Carson Kelley then became the next goal scorer after a nice feed from David Marabella. Lastly, Berardinelli finished the Brahmas scoring in the frame after Martin Mellberg sent a saucer pass cross-ice for the Colorado College commit to finish. Sjodahl would record yet another to round out the frame but the team still took a sizable 5-2 lead into the third.
