In a game that featured dominating defenses in both zones, Miami of Ohio broke the scoring silence midway through the second period on a Curtis McKenzie goal.  At first it didn’t seem like much, as Mankato shut Miami down for the remainder of the period, and the teams went into the third, 1-0, Miami.  But only two…
