First period
UND 1, Niagara 0 — Jake Schmaltz (Judd Caulfield) 1:08. UND welcomes Niagara goalie Jake Sibell to college hockey by scoring 68 seconds into the game. Caulfield makes a tremendous 360-spin pass to an open Schmaltz, who snipes his second goal in as many games.

The only change in the lineup for UND is Kaleb Johnson for Harrison Feeney as the third goalie. . . UND is without Gavin Hain (lower body, day to day) and Brendan Budy (lower body, week to week). . . Niagara is starting rookie Jake Sibell, who played junior in Aberdeen, S.D. . . The Purple Eagles kept all four forward lines together as well as the top two defensive pairings. There are changes to the third defensive pairing and the extra skater.
