Colgate Settles for Tie in Exhibition Game

HAMILTON, N.Y. (10/1/11) – The Colgate men's hockey team hit the ice on Saturday against Carleton University and the two teams skated to a 3-3 tie at Starr Rink.

The Raiders got goals from Chris Wagner, Spiro Goulakos and Billy Rivellini, in the tie. All goals came in the first and second periods as the Raiders had a lead going into the final period of play. Goalie Eric Mihalik pushed aside 28 shots, including 11 in the final frame.

The Ravens of Carleton stormed back from three goals down in the third period as Joe Flecckaitis, Matthew Stanisz and Jeff Hayes had goals. Hayes scored on the power play with less than five minutes left in regulation for the game-tying goal. Matthew Dopud got the start in net for the Ravens and had 25 stops.

Colgate had two great chances in the overtime with Austin Smith earning a breakaway shot, which was poke-checked away by Dopud. Then Robbie Bourdon broke in alone and clanged a shot off the post.

The Raiders open the season next weekend as Colgate travels to the Mutual of Omaha Stampede for a pair of games in Nebraska.
