The Lowdown: The day after
Both teams are coming off big games. Wesleyan rallied from two down on the road in the third to shock undefeated Bowdoin 6-5 in OT. Colby earned a hard fought point in a 2-2 tie with Trinity. While Wesleyan must be excited after such a thrilling win, the Cardinals can't look past the last place Mules.Wesleyan has a prime opportunity to escape the state of Maine with a 4 point weekend, putting them right back in the middle of the NESCAC playoff mix
Key(s) to the game : It's a Power Play goal!
Wesleyan broke out for four power play goals last night against the Polar Bears. If the Cardinals, who have the second best net special teams in the conference (+8), can draw some penalties on the Mules, who have the worst net special teams (-6), they will be way on their way to a win. Colby can't afford to fall behind, as the Mules have scored only seven third period goals in 14 games this year.
Players to watch:
Wesleyan Keith Buehler (F, Jr. ) How will Buehler follow up his six point night (3-3-6)?
Colby Nick Lanza (F, Jr) How will Lanza follow up scoring his first goals since November last night?
