NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The No. 11 Bulldogs (3-2-2, 2-1-2 ECAC), who
have played three straight overtime games, host Sacred Heart
(3-6-2, 2-4-1 AHA) Tuesday night at Ingalls Rink. This is the
first-ever meeting of the two Division I Nutmeg State schools.
Faceoff is 7:00 and can be seen and heard live on yalebulldogs.com
as well as WYBC (AM-1340) and wybc.com. It is "Jersey Night" at
Ingalls, so fans wearing a hockey jersey Tuesday night will be
admitted free.
SHU Pioneers
Sacred Heart, led by former Yale assistant CJ Marottolo, makes its
first trip to New Haven after falling twice to RIT at Rochester
last weekend. Matt Gingera lit the lamp twice in a 55 second span
of the first period but RIT upended Sacred Heart 5-3 on Nov. 21 to
complete a sweep. Sacred Heart and RIT were even after two periods
but the Tigers scored twice in the final frame and killed off nine
minutes of SHU power play time. Tommy Castonguay gave Sacred Heart
a 3-2 lead in the second period with his first collegiate goal.
Bulldogs Bite Bears in OT
Broc Little helped the No. 9 Yale men's hockey team avoid a
late-game disaster by scoring in overtime in a 6-5 win over winless
Brown at Meehan Auditorium in ECAC Hockey action. The Blue started
junior Ryan Rondeau between the pipes. He played 50 minutes and
stopped 14 of 19 shots. Senior Billy Blase, the third Bulldog to
play goalie this season, stopped all three shots he saw to earn the
victory. The Bears (0-6-1, 0-4-1), who erased a three-goal deficit
midway through the second period, got 13 saves (on 17 shots) from
Mike Clemente over the first 20 minutes before Anthony Borelli came
on to stop 23 shots. Yale outshot Brown 42-22 and scored two
power-play goals to move into a four-way tie for fourth place in
the ECAC.
