Boxscore

HANOVER, N.H. - The Dartmouth men's hockey team registered three shorthanded goals as the Big Green (7-4) defeated Army (4-10-1), 5-4 in overtime on Sunday, the first day of the Ledyard National Bank Classic. The victory moves Dartmouth into the championship game against Bemidji State, which defeated UMass, 4-2 in the day's opener.

Rob Pritchard (Burnaby, B.C.) was the hero on the night as the senior potted just his second goal of the season, 1:43 into the overtime frame with a shorthanded goal from Scott Fleming (Plainfield, Ont.).

Army jumped on the board first when Kyle Maggard took a shot thatt was blocked. Big Green goaltenderJody O'Neill (Nepean, Ont.) came out for the save but Mike Hull was there to put it behind O'Neill.

Andrew Owsiak (Moose Jaw, Sask.) and Doug Jones (Marietta, Ga.) executed the perfect give-and-go just a few minutes later as the linemates tied the game at 1-1.

Paul Lee (Garden City, N.Y.) gave Dartmouth a two-goal lead with 5:03 left to go in the period. Connor Shields (Edmonton, Alta.) took a shot on netminer Jay Clark that was saved out to Lee who also took a shot that rebounded out to Shields for the score.

The Black Knights quickly took the lead again in the early goings of the second period with back-to-back goals. Eric Sefchik and Joey Ammon helped the visitors to a 3-2 lead.

But Kyle Reeds (St. Louis, Mo.) with two shorthanded strikes kept his team in the game. Reeds first goal of the season came when he and classmate Matt Reber (Edina, Minn.) connected on a shortie that traveled the length of the ice.

Maggard and Ammon teamed up for Army's fourth goal before Reeds came back with a steal at center ice, skating in alone on Clark for his second shorthanded goal of the contest.

Pritchard had a chance late in the game to win as his one-on-one with Clark was saved in the waning minutes of the third. Early in the overtime Pritchard and Fleming tried to connect on a give-and-go that went just wide.

O'Neill (7-3) finished with 23 saves while Clark (2-4-1) had 32.

Dartmouth and Bemidji will meet tomorrow at 7:00 pm in the Championship Game while UMass and Army will team up at 4:00 for the Consolation Game.
