TROY, N.Y. - Senior Jeff Gumaer scored two goals, including the
game-winner in overtime, to lead Bentley College to a 4-3 victory
over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in a Division I men's hockey
game before a sellout Houston Field House crowd of 4,780. Bentley
improves to 1-1-0 while the Engineers fall to 0-3-0.
Gumaer's (Webster Groves, MO/Springfield Jr. Blues) game-winning
goal came on a three-on-two break, which he scored into the top
left corner of the net on a wrist shot from the right faceoff
circle. Linemates Dustin Cloutier (Berkley, MI/Mahoning Valley
Phantoms) and Kane Osmars (Kanata, ON/Kanata Stallions) assisted on
the goal, Gumaer's second of the season.
It was Gumaer's first goal, a wraparound just 1:25 into the second
period, that opened the scoring. RPI tied the game 14 minutes later
when sophomore Tyler Helfrich (Calgary, AB/Prince George Spruce
Kings) scored on his own rebound at 14:58 of the second period. The
Engineers took a 2-1 lead on a Seth Klerer (Thornhill, ON/North
York Rangers) gave the Engineers a 2-1 lead on a wrist shot from
the high slot with 1:31 remaining in the period but Bentley's Dain
Prewitt (Westminster, CO/Fargo-Moorhead Jets) knotted the score
just 30 seconds later.
The Falcons re-gained the lead on a Pat Percella (Bayonne,
NJ/Boston University) goal from just outside the crease at 14:04 of
the third period but RPI captain Matt Angers-Goulet (St. Augustin,
PQ/Notre Dame Hounds) tallied on a deflection in front of the
goalie with an extra attacker on the ice and 1:12 left in
regulation.
Bentley's Kyle Rank (Islip, NY/Markham Waxers), a freshman, made 20
saves to earn the win. Freshman Allen York (Wetaskiwin, AB/Camrose
Kodiaks) stopped 21 shots in the loss for the Engineers, who saw
junior Garret Vassel (Westhampton, NY/New York Apple Core) earn two
assists.
RPI is right back in action on Tuesday night when it hosts
Massachusetts in a non-league game at the Houston Field House
(7pm). Bentley plays again on October 31 at league foe Air Force.
