Notre Dame continued its dominance of the third period on Friday night, outscoring the Wolverines 3-0 in the final period en route to a 4-1 win. Once again the two teams were all knotted up entering the final 20 minutes, but the Irish put in a trio of goals to defeat Michigan for the second time in two days.
