Wesleyan 3 Trinity 5
Box Score Recap
Senior Nate Heilbron made 35 saves on Senior Night in Hartford, as Trinity (17-5-1;13-4-0) continued their recent dominance over travel partner Wesleyan (2-13-8; 2-8-7). Jay Matthews scored two goals for the vanquished Cardinals, who will miss the playoffs for the second straight season after they were eliminated from contention with the loss coupled with a Colby tie against Conn college. The Bantams keep their slim hopes of winning a third straight NESCAC regular season crown alive, though they will likely end up in second as Williams only needs one point this weekend to lockup the top spot.
Bowdoin 4 Tufts 4
Box Score Recap
Matt Melanson scored in the final two minutes for Bowdoin (12-7-4;8-5-4) to force OT in a back and forth game that saw no lead bigger than one goal for either team. Mason Pulde made 45 stops for the Jumbos while Peter Cronin stopped 32 for the Polar Bears. The tie clinched a playoff spot for the second straight season for Tufts, while Bowdoin is a point or tie against winless Conn College from locking up a home playoff spot.
Colby 3 Conn College 3
Box Score Recap
With no playoff spot to compete for, Conn College (3-17-3;0-14-3) fought back from a 3-1 deficit with two third period goals 23 seconds apart (including William White's first collegiate goal) to earn a tie against visiting Colby (8-10-5; 5-9-3). Despite not pulling out the victory the Mules clinched a playoff spot to return to the NESCAC postseason after a one year absence.
