McIntyre Honored by INCH

HAMILTON, N.Y. -- Colgate sophomore forward David McIntyre, who netted the Raiders' series-clinching double-overtime goal at Clarkson Sunday, has been named the Inside College Hockey (INCH) National Player of the Week, the website announced.

McIntyre was part of five of the Raiders' seven goals in their back-to-back victories, including four goals. He netted the game-winning goal in each contest, including scoring 7:36 into the second overtime of the decisive third game to give Colgate a berth in the 2008 Bank of America ECAC Hockey Championship in Albany.

On Saturday, with Colgate facing elimination after losing the first game of the series, McIntyre scored twice and added an assist. He banged home a loose puck at the edge of the crease for the game-winner early in the third period. The next night, he scored a power-play goal that gave Colgate a 2-1 lead before adding the double-OT winner.

McIntyre and the Raiders take on No. 15 Princeton on Friday, Mar. 21, in the 2008 Bank of America ECAC Hockey Championship semifinals at the Times Union Center in Albany. The game is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. No. 16 Harvard plays No. 20 Cornell in the second semifinal at 7:00 p.m. Tickets to the 2008 Bank of America ECAC Hockey Championship may be purchased through the Times Union Center box office by calling 1-800-30-EVENT or by visiting http://www.tickets.com/ or http://www.timesunioncenter-albany.com/.
