The Raiders got on the scoreboard early with a pair of goals from Kueber in the opening 10 minutes to take 2-0 lead.

The rookie scored the goal off a pass from Phillips to put the score at 5-0. Drubel also had an assist on the goal. Both teams continued to battle it out on the ice for the rest of the stanza but by the end of it Colgate held a five-goal advantage.
