The Lowdown Getting Back on Track  

The Colby Mules host the Southern Maine Huskies Tuesday night at Alfond Rink hoping to duplicate the same excitement they generated when they met earlier in the season. Lorne Miller’s power-play goal with 14.7 seconds remaining in overtime lifted Southern Maine 5-7 (3-4 ECACE) to a hard fought 3-2 victory over Colby 3-9-0 (1-7 NESCAC) November 20 in Gorham, Maine.
