As it has much of the season, No. 7 Colorado College relied on its potent power play and some timely goaltending to pull out a close win.

On Friday night at World Arena, it was senior captain Mike Testwuide’s power-play goal with 4:40 left to gave the Tigers a 4-3 home win over nonconference opponent Robert Morris (3-7-1).

That and a late penalty on the Tigers (8-2-10 set up a frantic final minute as CC missed two empty-net chances while the Colonials went for the tying goal with a 6-on-4 advantage.

It need not have been that exciting.

Senior defenseman Kris Fredheim’s goal midway through the second period had looked to be the difference but a turnover in the Tigers end set up the opportunistic Colonials. Chris Kushneriuk took the puck away and fired a centering pass to Scott Kobialko for the tying goal, 3-3, with 5:56 left.
