UND managed only 17 shots on goal thru the first two periods of that game and it was a late power play goal that made it 2-0 after two. While the final was 3-0 UND, there was definitely cause for concern over what was to come because I can clearly remember that Sioux team being frustrated all game long by Tony Quesada and Holy Cross. Contrast that with last night's effort against Wisconsin...
Kunitz had 35 goals and 44 assists that season...3 assists in the win over UND...Hobey Hat Trick finalist (Peter Sejna from CC was the winner)...
Revenge shall be served...11 years later!
Saw those this morning...surprised there were only 7.

30-9-1 record in 2002-2003 coming into NCAA tournament play. CCHA champions. Placed in west regional at Mariucci Arena as the #2 seed. While #1 seed Minnesota dismantled Mercyhurst in their first game, the #3 seed Sioux looked like they took the Bulldogs for granted and were looking ahead in a 5-2 loss. Minny then defeated Ferris 7-4 and advanced to the Frozen Four. Beat Michigan in OT and them rolled UNH in the championship game.
Michigan...Michigan State...Arizona...Florida...my Final Four picks are all still alive at the Elite 8 mark. Pretty sure I haven't had that luck since I had UCLA winning the tournament back in '95!
