After a demoralizing loss last night, the Colgate Raiders fight for their lives against Cornell in front of a loud Lynah Rink crowd. With 12:39 left in the first period, Alex Young scored his eleventh goal of the season to make it 1-0 Colgate. Mitch Benson and Ian Shane matched zeros for the remainder of the period so, 1-0 Colgate heading to the second period. With 15:21 left in the second period, Ross Mitton scored his fifth goal of the season to make it 2-0 Hamiltonians. With 12:58 left in the second period, Ben Berard scored to make it 2-1 Raiders. With 11:35 left in the second period, Jeff Stewart scored his sixth goal of the season to make it 3-1 Colgate. With 7:47 left in the second period, Matt Verboon scored his tenth goal of the season, on the power play to make it 4-1 Hamiltonians. Cornell Coach Mike Schafer pulled Ian Shane out of the net and so, Joe Howe filled in for the rest of the game. With 1:44 left in the third period, Matt Stienburg scored to make it 4-2 Hamiltonians! Mitch Benson finished off the Big Red and we will play a winner take all game three tomorrow afternoon thanks to a 4-2 Colgate win!
Author's Note: I had trouble with the WiFi at Lynah Rink so, I had to write this when I got back to my hotel. I loved the way Colgate battled tonight and hopefully this effort continues into tomorrow afternoon. Mitch Benson played amazing and his teammates picked him up and Colgate's is in the position they're in because of Benson and his teammates. I'm gonna shut up now because we have a whole other game tomorrow that we need to be ready for. See you all tomorrow and go 'gate!!
