Amherst 3
Hamilton 1
FINAL Box Score   Hamilton Recap 

1st Period: Pat Curtis back in the lineup for the Continentals for the Cirtus Bowl. Quattrocchi in net for the Conts and Cunningham for the Lord Jeffs, as expected. Hamilton kills off a penalty on defender Tyler Lovejoy, but Lovejoy goes back into the box immediately after coming out on a boarding call and the Lord Jeffs' Mike Rowbotham puts the puck in the net to take the 1-0 lead. Hamilton gets their own chance later on in the period on an Amherst boarding penalty, but nothing is doing on the PP, per the usual. The two Katies are back for their second year in the booth. They are excited, but are having some trouble with the pronunciation of some Lord Jeff names like Deutsch and Rowbotham.

2nd Period: Amherst super sophomore Conor Brown gets his second goal of the season and the Jeffs go up 2-0 just 5 minutes into the second. Hamilton giving significant playing time to newcomers. At one point, all five players on the ice for the Conts were freshman.

3rd Period: With less than two minutes to play, the Continentals go on the power play. They take a timeout and pull Quattrocchi to go with the 6-4 empty net advantage. Marco Brelih feeds Kenny Matheson at the top of the left circle for a one time rip to cut it to 2-1 with 1:03 left. Later, with the normal 5-4 empty net, Conor Brown stole the puck at center ice and put in an easy empty netter - his second in as many nights- to seal the game. Hamilton fans feel the take down was less than legal and respond with some less than savory language.

Shots in favor of Amherst 17-14 for the game, though just one of those came in the the third period.

Bowdoin 2
Middlebury 2
FINAL OT Box Score       Recap

2nd Period: Middlebury ties it up with a goal from junior Derek Pimenel from sophomore Max Greenwald. Connor Frick puts Middlebury up 2-1 on power play goal.

3rd Period: With 7:16 left, Bowdoin's John McGinnis takes a pass from Lockwood and goes five hole to tie it at two. Regulation ends tied.

Colby       1
Williams    1
FINAL OT  Box Score   Williams Recap   Colby Recap 

1st Period: Sam Parker gets the start in net for Colby and Dougherty for the Ephs. Williams' Alex Dabaere scores an early goal but it was called off for using his skate to kick it in. Both teams have two power play opportunities, - including back-to-back penalties on Ephs rookie Tyler Young - but do not capitalize.

2nd Period:  Nick Anderson takes it down the left wing and backhands it past Parker at 14:04 of the 2nd period to put Williams up 1-0 on Colby. Assists to Brain McNamara and Craig Kitto on the play.

3rd Period: Colby ties it up on a one timer from behind the net from Ben Chwick to Ray Zeek (Williams recap says it was Chwick on the goal) with 4:44 left in the game to tie it up.

OT: Williams forward Peter Mistretta goes to the box on cross-checking call with 18.5 seconds remaining but it's not enough time to mount a PP attack for the Mules and the game ends in a tie.

Dougherty made 32 saves, while Parker made 41 to earn the tie on the road. Both teams go 0fer on the man advantage (Colby 0/6, Williams 0/5).

Conn College 2
Wesleyan        5
FINAL Box Score  Wesleyan Recap 

1st Period: Tom Conlin gets the start in net after Petchonka started on Friday night. Wesleyan' freshman Dawson Sprigings gets his first start in net. Cardinals star forward Keith Buehler sits this one out for precautionary reasons. Wesleyan takes a 1-0 lead on power play goal by senior Tommy Hartnett (primary assists to Mathews and Albrecht). Moments later Terence Durkin gets booted from the game for a hitting from behind call. Its the second game misconduct in as many nights for the Cards after Jaren Taenaka was tossed in the opener. Conn College ties it up on power play goal when Will Leedy knocks it in after a scrum in front of the net (assists to DiPretoro and Cangelosi).  Hartnett scores his second of the game unassisted in the final 20 seconds to take a 2-1 lead into the locker room.

2nd Period: Conn College's JC Canfelosi gets his second of the year unassisted four minutes in to tie it back up. Cards freshman forward then nets his first collegiate goals less than a minute later (assist to Malone) in what would prove to be the game winning goal. Not to be outdone, freshman Elliot Vorel, he of five point fame from last night, puts the Cards up 4-2 on assists from Hartnett and rookie Morrissette.

3rd Period: Vorel puts in an empty netter for his second goal of the game to end his first weekend of college hockey with 7 points (4-3-7). Shots in favor of Wesleyan 36-24.  CC 1/6 on PP, Wesleyan 1/4.

Tufts     3
Trinity   4
FINAL Box Score  Trinity Recap

1st Period: Trinity's Jackson Brewer started off the scoring just 18 seconds in. After about five minutes into the game, Tufts senior goaltender Brian Phillips, who was starting his first game of the season, left the game with what Tufts Hockey described on twitter as a "undisclosed lower body injury." Freshman Ryan Kellenberger replaced him. Stewart Bell tied the game up nine minutes in, but Ellie Vered put the Bantams up 2-1 just five minutes later.

2nd Period: After a Connor Coveney penalty, Tufts tied the game eight minutes in on an Andrew White goal (freshman Matt Pugh got his first college point on the play). 2 minutes later the Jumbos took their first lead othe game on a George Pantazopoulos goal. After two Jumbo penalties within the next minute, Mike Hawkrigg, the Bantams hero of the 2013 NESCAC Quarterfinals, scored his first goal of the season on a power play to tie the game up at 3.

3rd Period: With 3:50 left in the game, Hawkrigg made a perfectly placed pass across a sliding Tufts defender to defend rookie Ryan Cole, who buried it top shelf to put the Bantams up 4-3 (video embed below). Ben Coulthard made 23 saves in a winning effort, while Kelenberger made 43 saves in a losing cause. Phillips made three saves before coming out.
