Nate Condon's big offensive night led to a big milestone. Two goals earned the Gophers senior co-captain his 100th point of his career, joining an elite group to achieve this feat.
Condon scored the first and sixth goals in the Gophers' 7-3 victory over Robert Morris in the NCAA tournament West Regional at Xcel Energy Center. The win advances the Gophers to the regional final on Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. against St. Cloud State.
"It's great. I've playrd a lot of games here an expect a lot of myself, so I think that another milestone really shows me how long I've been here how hard I've worked to get tot this point," he said.
The 100th point came on an empty-net goal in the third period. The first goal helped set the tone for the Gophers' big offensive night. Late in the first period, he showed off his speed by going the length of the ice and cutting in-between defenders to set up the goal.
Condon has 40 goals, 60 assists for the 100-point total in 156 games. It's the first game this season in he's scored more than one goal and his fifth multiple-point effort of the season.
