Hamilton (4-7-3): 2
Cortland (6-9-2): 3
It was over when...: Cortand goalie Lyle Rocker (G, Sr.) turned away the furious 6 on 5 empty net Continental attack in the final minute to hold on for the win. Four of the five goals were scored in the second period. Red Dragon senior A.J. Moyer (F, Jr.) scored a pair of goals to start off and Continental captain Andrew White (D, Sr.) scored to cut it to 2-1. Cortland's Nick Zappia (F, So.) scored in the last minute of the second to make it 3-1.
The only goal of the fourth came on a power play after a game misconduct on Cortland's Matty Davie (F, Sr.). Following up on his first collegiate goal against Tufts, Scott Vazquez (D, Fr.) fired a high shot past Rocker to cut it to 3-2. Hamilton out shot Cortland 38-26.
Of note was Cortland's engaging announcer Bobby Comstock. Other than the faux pas of mistakenly calling Continental backup goalie Cam Gibbar (G, Sr.) by the starter's name (Joe Quattrocchi), Comstock called an informative, entertaining game. Joined by Cortland women's coach Earl Utter in the third period, the duo broke down the book on Rocker (shoot high), bemoaned the new icing rule (which would ironically seal the game for Cortland in the final minute), and even threw in some classic rock discussion at the end.
Player of the game: Lyle Rocker (G, Jr.) for his 36 saves on 38 shots.
Box Score: Hamilton 2/Cortland 3
Williams (8-3-2): 3
Babson (9-3-3): 3
It was over when: Babson erased the third one-goal Ephs lead of the game in the third on Mike Driscoll (F, So.)'s second goal of the night. Paul Steinig (D, Jr.), John Wickman (F, Sr.) and Peter Mistretta (F, So.) had goals for Williams. Wickman continues the USCHO reverse jinx, scoring in three straight games after the USCHO feature on Williams mentioned his not having scored this season. Player to watch Noah Klag (G, Fr.) earned a tie on 22 saves in his first collegiate start.
Former Wesleyan leading scorer Nik Tasiopoulos (F, Jr.) had two assists for the Beavers. Babson is now 3-0-1 against nationally ranked teams. Babson still hasn't beaten Williams since 2008, going (0-6-2) in the last eight meetings.
Player of the game: Mike Driscoll (F, So.) for his two goal night, including the game tying goal in the third.
Box Score: Williams 3/Babson 3
