HAMILTON, N.Y. (10/15/11) – Austin Mayer tipped home a
Corbin
McPherson shot on the power play with 2:03 remaining in overtime
to
give the Colgate men’s hockey team a 3-2 win over No. 4/5
Miami at
Starr Rink on Saturday night.
Colgate (3-1-0) put the pressure on Miami at some points during
the
game and came out with 40 shots on goal and erased a pair of
one-goal
deficits. In addition to Mayer’s goal, Austin Smith and
Robbie Bourdon
tallied goals for the winners. Chris Wagner added two helpers on
the
day and four others had assists. Eric Mihalik stood tall in net
and
made huge saves to keep Colgate in the game as he finished with
20
stops.
Miami (2-2-0) got goals from Patrick Tiesling and Reilly Smith,
while
Max Cook and Alden Hirschfeld added helpers. Connor Knapp had a
great
night in net with 37 saves, but was tabbed with the loss.
The Redhawks took a 1-0 lead with 11:50 remaining in the first
period
after a breakdown by Colgate behind its own net. Max Cook
collected
the puck on the miscue and fed the puck to Tiesling, who was all
alone
in the slot. He chipped a shot over the outstretched glove of
Mihalik
for the early lead.
Colgate evened the score at 1-1 on its third 5-on-3 advantage of
the
second period. After failing to score on the previous two, the
top
power play unit for Colgate tied the game. Thomas Larkin fed the
puck
to Wagner below the goal line and he slipped a pass through two
sticks
to Bourdon at the far post. Bourdon then hit home a one-timer to
knot
the score. Colgate controlled most of the period as they earned
five
power plays and outshot the Redhawks, 12-7.
Miami took the lead back at 2-1 on Reilly Smith’s fourth goal
of the
weekend. It came midway through the third period with the assist
to
Hirschfeld. He received a pass from Hirschfeld just above the face
off
dot and ripped home a wrister. The Miami lead didn’t last
long as
Austin Smith tied the game 1:20 after the Redhawks went up by
one
goal. Joe Wilson chipped the puck up to Wagner, who skated into
the
zone with Smith. Wagner found Smith at the far post and he tipped
it
in with a defender on him to tie the game at 2-2 with 7:57
remaining.
Colgate took a penalty for too many men on the ice late in the
third
and it carried over to the extra period. However, Mihalik was able
to
make three stops during the power play to keep the game at 2-2.
The
Raiders then got their chance on the power play and they able to
put
home the gamewinner with one second left on the man advantage.
Mayer
won the face off back to Nick Prockow, who slid a pass to McPherson
at
the middle point. He blasted a shot on net that Mayer tipped home
for
the winner and gave the Raiders a split in the series and a 3-2
win.
Colgate won the shot battle at 40-22. The Raiders went 2-for-9 on
the
man advantage, while Miami failed to score on five of its
opportunities.
Colgate heads back on the road this coming weekend to play Army in
the
second annual Cape Cod Collegiate Classic at the Hyannis Youth
and
Community Center. Tickets are on sale now for the 7 p.m. start
