HANOVER, N.H. - Goaltender Philippe Lamoureux made 25 saves as the University of North Dakota defeated Dartmouth, 4-1, in the second game of the Ledyard National Bank Hockey Classic Friday night. A pair of short-handed goals highlighted the opening scoring before UND erupted for three in the third including a late empty netter.

A shorthanded Rylan Kaip goal gave North Dakota a 1-0 lead with 2:21 gone in the first period. Dartmouth tied the game at the 1:29 mark of the second on a shorthanded, unassisted marker by junior David Jones (N. Vancouver, B.C.). A turnover in the UND end allowing Jones to skate down alone firing over Lamoureux's right shoulder.

Robbie Bina broke the 1-1 tie with 6:33 gone in the third period, scoring the gamewinner for North Dakota (8-10-1). UND will take on St. Lawrence in Saturday's championship game after SLU defeated Boston University, 4-3, in the opener.

Dartmouth (5-5-2) takes on BU in the consolation game at 4 p.m.

After Bina pushed UND ahead in the third, Andrew Kozek added an insurance goal three minutes later. With Dartmouth goalie Mike Devine (Orchard Park, N.Y.) on the bench in favor of the extra skater, UND's Ryan Duncan added an empty-netter with 42 seconds left.

Devine made 14 saves for Dartmouth who was 0-for-11 on the power play. North Dakota also missed on seven power play chances.

"I thought we played a good game, they were a well coached and a very good hockey team. We played hard but it just didn't go our way. We're continuing to battle and we'll find a way. We need to get better on our power play. A power play goal tonight and it might have been a different game for us." - Head Coach Bob Gaudet.
