CHICAGO<\/strong> — Denver’s Jarid Lukosevicius scored the first hat trick in an NCAA title game since his coach Jim Montgomery did it for Maine in 1993, leading the Pioneers to a 3-2 win over Minnesota Duluth for the 2017 NCAA national championship.<\/p>\n

Lukosevicius’ first two goals came just 16 seconds apart, the fastest two goals by the same player in a national championship game.<\/p>\n

Lukosevicius deflected a shot by Michael Davies at 4:44 of the second and poked in a goal-mouth feed from Troy Terry at 5:00. His third goal again came on the doorstep as he buried a pass from Dylan Gambrell at 12:23.<\/p>\n

Duluth’s Alex Iafallo scored on the power play at 7:16 of the second period, putting home a feed from Joey Anderson to cut the Denver lead at that point to 2-1.<\/p>\n

Riley Tufte cut the Denver lead to 3-2 with 5:21 left in the third. A shot from Avery Peterson from a sharp angle clanked off the post and dropped to the far side of the crease, well wide of Denver goalie Tanner Jaillet. Tufte reached out to poke it in.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Duluth outshot Denver 17-3 in the third period and 40-28 in the game.<\/p>\n
