Colgate snapped its six-game winless streak with a hard-fought 4-3 road win over No. 5 St. Lawrence in overtime on Friday. Bailey Larson scored the winning goal 3:12 into overtime to earn the Raiders two important ECAC Hockey points.<\/p>\n

“Great team win. I think, more than anything, it feels good for the group right now,” said Colgate coach Greg Fargo. \u00a0“When you’re going through a stretch where you’re not getting results, its easy to get down or question things, and tonight, I thought we played as well as we have for the last six games, and we got a bounce there at the end. It just feels to be good on top again.”<\/p>\n

It was Larson’s OT winner, a seeing-eye snap shot that beat Grace Harrison through a screen, that allowed Colgate to leave Appleton Arena on top. It came off a faceoff win for the Raiders, and then a SLU turnover that left the sophomore open with the puck just above the left faceoff dot.<\/p>\n

“We’d been going hard all game, battling and throwing pucks on net, and that time, it finally went our way,” said Larson. “We’ve been going through a hard time, and we really needed a win. We’d been playing well and doing the right things, but the wins hadn’t come our way. This is what we needed to turn things around.”<\/p>\n

Colgate jumped out to a lead early in the second period, after Grace Harrison and Julia Vandyk stole the show in the first period, stopping 16 combined shots. Cat Quirion scored from the point just 1:19 into the middle frame, and it took only 44 seconds for Megan Sullivan to light the lamp for the Raiders and give the visitors a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Hannah Miller took a breakout pass from Kirsten Padalis and knifed through the offensive zone, beating one defender and then Vandyk with a wrist shot at the 11:26 mark of the second to get the Saints on board. Nadine Edney scored two goals in a row for the Saints to put SLU ahead. After tying the score with 1:15 left in the second, Edney picked the top corner from the right faceoff dot for her ninth of the season just 3:37 into the third.<\/p>\n

Shelby Perry tied it for the Raiders at 9:10 of the third, taking a pass through the slot from Lauren Wildfang and beating an outstretched Harrison for the lone power-play goal of the game. That brought Colgate even with SLU, forcing overtime.<\/p>\n

After the loss, Saints coach Chris Wells mentioned turnovers as a reason his Saints lost for just the third time all season.<\/p>\n

“They made us turn the puck over more tonight than we have in a long time, and they were able to capitalize on two of the turnovers,” he said. The overtime winner, most notably, came off a turnover.<\/p>\n

“After that third goal, they really took it to us. They’ve had a couple of bad bounces over the last few weeks, but everything sort of evens out, especially when you’re that good of a team. They got the result that they deserved and earned tonight.”<\/p>\n

Colgate will ride its newfound momentum into a matchup with Clarkson on Saturday, while the Saints play host to Cornell, who defeated the Golden Knights, 2-1, on Friday.<\/p>\n
