TAMPA, Fla. Drake Caggiula scored twice in the third period and Brock Boeser had a goal and three assists to help North Dakota win its eighth N.C.A.A. hockey championship over top-seeded Quinnipiac on Saturday night.
Cam Johnson had 32 saves for North Dakota (34-6-4), which won its first national title since 2000. The Fighting Hawks are now one behind Michigan for the most title wins by a school.
Caggiula scored in each of North Dakotas four tournament wins. He also had two goals in a 4-2 victory over Denver that sent the Fighting Hawks into the Frozen Four final for the 13th time.
Quinnipiac (32-4-7) lost in the title game for the second time in four seasons. The Bobcats trailed by just 2-1 entering the third period, but their hopes for a first championship faded quickly when Caggiula beat goaltender Michael Garteig twice in just over two minutes.
Boeser put North Dakota up by 2-0 with a short-handed goal after Garteig left the net unattended while he unsuccessfully tried to clear a loose puck.
