KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The sixth-ranked Western Michigan hockey rolled to its third-straight victory after a 6-1 win over Notre Dame in front of a standing-room only crowd at Lawson Ice Arena on Friday night.

Cole Spicer, Tommy Lafrenière, Adam Benák, Zach Nehring, Ty Henricks and Bobby Cowan all lit the lamp on the night. Spicer tallied an assists for a two-point night, while Zaccharya Wisdom had two assists. Joona Väisänen had a game-high three assists, while Quentin Miller made 19 saves in the victory.

WMU (3-0-0) outshot the Fighting Irish 51-20 on the night and went 3-for-5 on the power play. 

The Broncos wasted no time putting one on the board. Just 18 seconds in, Wisdom stripped a UND player in the neutral zone and skated into attacking zone. Wisdom dropped the puck back to Spicer and he ripped it into the net for his second goal of the season. 

The lead pushed to 2-0 at 5:39 in the first period on Lafrenière's second goal of the season. This one came from the left circle and over UND goalie Nicholas Kempf's shoulder for his second of the season. Nehring and Edison Engle both picked up assists on the eventual game-winner. 

Benák pushed the lead to 3-0 at 2:07 in the second period on the power play. His first collegiate goal came from the left circle and into the top-right corner of the net. Spicer and Hakkarainen each tallied helpers on the goal. 

Nehring made it 4-0 12:31 in the second period, scoring on a wrap-around goal after getting the puck from Väisänen, with Wisdom also picking up an assist. 

Henricks scored on the power play at 4:44 in the third period for WMU's fifth goal on the night. He banged in a rebound on a shot by William Whitelaw from in front of the net, netting his first goal of the season. Väisänen picked up his second assist on the night on the goal. 

The Fighting Irish got on the board at 5:57 in the third period when Danny Nelson redirected a shot by Jaedon Kerr into the net. 

Cowan finished off the scoring, with WMU's third power play tally of the night. He redirected a shot by Väisänen with 1:33 to play.
