COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Aaron Slattengren scored two goals and goaltender Drew O\'Connell made 19 saves to lead third-ranked Colorado College (10-2-1, 5-1-1 WCHA) to a 5-0 win over the Michigan Tech (2-10-1, 1-5-1 WCHA) hockey team in front of 6,011 Friday night at World Arena.

CC scored the only goal of the opening period at the 15:44 mark, as Slattengren tallied a power-play marker off assists from Brett Sterling and Marty Sertich.

The Tigers opened up a 3-0 lead after two periods of play off even-strength goals from Slattengren and Sertich at 13:17 and 18:01.

John Brunkhorst and Sterling each chipped in a tally in the third stanza, capping the win for the Tigers.

Freshman Michael-Lee Teslak turned aside 32 of 37 shots in net for MTU, while O\'Connell recorded the first shutout of his career at CC.

The home team scored once on three power-play chances and the Huskies went 0-for-2 with a man advantage.
