Colby Stuns Trinity 3-0

The Colby Mules played the Trinity Bantams at Alford Rink on Saturday, February 11. Trinity came into the game 15-3-2, 12-1-1 in conference play, ranked 5th in the nation and first in the NESCAC. Colby was 10-10-0, 7-7-0 in conference play, ranked sixth in the NESCAC. Both teams went with their usual goalie,  Alex Morin for the Bantams, and Sean Lawrence for the Mules.
        
AFter 18 scoreless and penalty free minutes Colby’s Kienan Scott broke the ice with a tally assisted by J.P. Schuhlen and Nick O’Connor. The second period saw a couple minor penalties, but no goals.         

The third period was when Colby took command of the game. They did this through a short-handed O’Connor goal four minutes into the period followed up by O’Connor's second of the night on an empty netter late in the period. 

Lawrence played amazing in the affair, amassing 46 saves in his second shutout of the season. Colby tied their next game on Sunday and Trinity won theirs, with both of their Sunday games going into overtime. Trinity is still at first in the NESCAC and Colby is still at sixth. Shutouts are very rare for the Trinity. Before this game, the Bantams hand not been shutout since the 2016 NCAA opening round against UMass-Boston and had not been shut out in the regular season since December 2013 in a non-conference tilt against Stonehill. 

Thank you all for reading Hockey in the `Cac. As always, I’m LPfan2004, and I’ll see you soon.
