Engineers Swept by Visiting Colorado College
TROY, N.Y. – Junior Scott Winkler notched the eventual
game-winning goal and added an assist to lead the third-ranked
Colorado College men’s hockey team to a 4-1 victory over
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), this evening in
non-conference action at the Houston Field House. With the win
the Tigers improve to 4-0-0 overall, while the Engineers drop
to 1-6-0 on the season.
Winkler (Asker, Norway) broke a 1-1 tie at 11:22 of the second
period on a shot from the top of the left circle. The
power-play goal, which was Winkler’s first of the
season, was assisted by sophomore Eamonn McDermott (Shaker
Heights, OH) and freshman Ian Young (Missouri City, TX).
Junior Rylan Schwartz (Wilcox, SA) pushed the visitors lead to
3-1 with a shot from between the circles at 7:21 of the third
period. Taking a feed from Winkler, he whipped a shot inside
the left pipe for his sixth goal of the year. Sophomore Jaden
Schwartz (Wilcox, SA) added an empty net tally at 18:25 of the
third.
Colorado College sophomore Alexander Krushelnyski (Bloomfield
Hills, MI) netted the game’s first goal – a
short-handed marker at 11:19 of the first period. After his
initial shot was knocked behind the net by RPI freshman
goaltender Scott Diebold (Buffalo, NY/Tri-City
Storm), Krushelnyski flipped the puck off of Diebold’s
back and in, from below the goal line, for his first tally of
the season.
Senior Alex Angers-Goulet (St. Augustin, PQ/Langley Chiefs)
brought the Engineers even with a short-handed goal of his
own, at 10:31 of the second stanza. Streaking into the
Tigers’ zone from the left, he riffled a slap-shot past
Colorado College junior netminder Joe Howe (Plymouth, MN),
short-side. The goal, which was Angers-Goulet’s first of
2011-12, came unassisted.
Howe (4-0-0) made 20 saves to earn the win in net, while
Diebold (0-2-0) finished with 23 stops at the other end of the
ice.
The Engineers return to the ice next weekend when they visit
North Country-rivals St. Lawrence and Clarkson on Friday (7pm)
and Saturday (7pm), respectively. The Tigers visit the
University of Omaha-Nebraska for a two-game series next
weekend.
