HAMILTON, N.Y. -- Sophomore Cam
Ritchie picked a perfect time to pick up his first goal of the
season, scoring with 42 seconds left in overtime to lift the
10th-ranked Princeton men's hockey team to a 3-2 win at Colgate on
Friday night. It was Princeton's second overtime win over Colgate
this season.
Princeton jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the game only to have Colgate
chip away until evening the game at 2-2 midway through the third
period. The game went to overtime and seconds after what appeared
to be a game-winning goal by senior Brett
Wilson, Ritchie converted on a point shot to lift Princeton to the
win.
Colgate's Brian Day was whistled for a penalty when he slashed the
stick out of the hands of Princeton junior defenseman Brad
Schroeder in the defensive zone. The Tigers, who were 0-4 on the
power play entering overtime, did not let the puck leave the
offensive zone on the power play before Ritchie netted the game
winner. Moments before, Wilson knocked in a loose rebound off a
shot from senior Lee
Jubinville, but the goal was whistled down before the puck crossed
the line.
Following the whistle, junior Mark
Magnowski won the faceoff and Princeton kept the puck in the zone
with Ritchie scoring through a screen. Sophomore Kevin
Lohry, who scored the game winner against Colgate in November, and
freshman Derrick
Pallis added assists.
Princeton went ahead in the game with 16 seconds left in the first
period on junior Dan
Bartlett's seventh goal of the season. Following a Colgate icing,
Wilson won an offensive zone draw back to Ritchie, who had a point
shot blocked, but Bartlett was able to knock the puck in following
touches by Jubinville and Wilson.
Magnowski made the score 2-0 three minutes into the second period
with his team-leading 10th goal of the year off the rush. Sophomore
Taylor
Fedun started the play by skating end-to-end. Once in the Colgate
zone, he fed Lohry, who dropped it to Magnowski trailing the play
and the junior beat Colgate netminder Charles Long on the glove
side for a 2-0 lead.
Francois Brisebois made the score 2-1 at 13:28 of the second as
Colgate gained some momentum in the period and Brisebois jumped on
the rebound of a blocked shot as he was fresh on the ice and beat
Princeton junior goaltender Zane
Kalemba. Colgate then evened it in the third period when David
McIntyre scored on a delayed penalty from the doorstep.
Kalemba finished the game with 20 saves in picking up the win,
while Long stopped 28 Princeton shots. The Tigers outshot Colgate
31-22.
Princeton improved to 16-6 overall and 10-5 in the league with the
win. The Tigers are back in action tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Cornell.
