Nearly two decades have gone by since Marian last won an NCHA championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wait ended on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sabres are winners of the Harris Cup for the first time since 2002 after turning away the Milwaukee School of Engineering 4-1 to complete a championship series sweep. Marian won the opener Friday by a 3-1 score.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marian scored twice in the second period and never looked back as it ended a challenging year on a six-game winning streak. They finish out 12-7. MSOE ends the year 10-7-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ty Enns scored twice and goalie Colby Muise came away with tournament MVP honors after making 30 saves in the final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marian hadn\u2019t played in the championship round since 2011 but it wasn\u2019t going to let that drought continue, outscoring the opposition 21-9 in the postseason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enns scored the first two goals of the night for the Sabres before the Raiders responded to slice the advantage to 2-1 in the third Eliot Friedow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blaine Caton pushed the Sabres in front 3-1 before Gianni Vitali added an empty netter to give the Sabres their third NCHA crown in program history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marian held a 44-31 advantage in shots, including a 14-6 edge in the final period. It forced MSOE to go 0-for-4 on the power play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enns, Vitali, Parker Colley and Nathan Walker all earned NCHA All-Tournament team honors while Muise was named the MVP. He made 42 saves in Friday\u2019s win.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sabres dropped four consecutive games at one point in February but bounced back, winning nine of their final 11 games during a season played amid the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
