UND 1, Bemidji State 0 — Ben Strinden 9 (Cole Reschny, Keaton Verhoeff) 6:57. Reschny makes two plays to set up scoring chances on the shift. The first one — an Abram Wiebe point shot with traffic — doesn't go in. But Reschny gets the puck back and gets it to the hottest player in the country. Strinden rockets one bar down for his 12th point in November. Strinden sets a new career high in goals (nine) and points (17). Reschny, meanwhile, tallies his 11th point in November.
