TROY — Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute coach Seth Appert went with his gut and gave freshman goalie Allen York the starts in last weekend’s ECAC Hockey tournament first-round series with Dartmouth instead of senior Mathias Lange.

York rewarded Appert’s faith in him by leading the 11th-seeded Engineers to an upset sweep of the sixth-seeded Big Green.
