North Dakota beats Northeastern 6-2 for regional final berth

CINCINNATI - Johnny Simonson's deflection for his first goal since October started North Dakota's early barrage, and the Fighting Hawks took down the nation's hottest team, beating Northeastern 6-2 on Friday in a Midwest Regional semifinal of the NCAA Tournament.

The Fighting Hawks (31-6-4) will play for a berth in the Frozen Four on Saturday.

Northeastern (22-14-5) was the hottest team on ice, going 20-1-2 since the end of December. The Huskies were 13-0-1 heading into the regional semifinal, the longest active undefeated streak in the country and the longest in school history. Their second-half surge was set up with shutdown defence — only 25 goals allowed in the second and third periods of their last 23 games.

This one was well in hand by that time. North Dakota piled the most goals against Northeastern all season, each one by a different player.
