If timing is everything, then Colgate might have had everything last weekend. The Raiders were mired in a six-game winless streak before one of its most difficult weekends of the season, and turned that into an opportunity to correct what was going wrong. All of the things that could have planted doubt in the minds of Colgate were seemingly remedied during a home-and-home series against travel partner and then-first-place Cornell. Consider the following in Colgate’s two wins:

A span of scoring just six goals over a four-game stretch during the winless streak?
That was remedied with a seven-goal outburst over two nights.

Figuring out how to hold a lead late in the game?
Got that taken care of too, by preserving a one-goal advantage in the third period Friday by allowing just one shot against on the road, and stifling two late Big Red power-play chances to win 2-1.
