I\u2019m super excited to see who\u2019s coming tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mitton\u2019s shot was the 46th of the night on Bobcats goaltender Yaniv Perets, who made a career-high 44 saves in the losing effort.<\/p>\n<p>On the other end of the ice, Raiders netminder Carter Gylander made 40 saves to keep his team\u2019s season alive. That total was one short of his season high, which also came against Quinnipiac in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarter was dialed in from the get-go tonight, he made a couple of huge stops early in the game,\u201d Colgate coach Don Vaughan said. \u201cHe just settled right in and saw the puck really well.<\/p>\n<p>A free flowing and offensively heavy opening period translated onto the scoreboard with just over three minutes to play.<\/p>\n<p>A Quinnipiac turnover at its own blue line sprung Daniel Panetta on a one-on-one chance with Perets. Panetta converted on his opportunity and slid the puck five-hole on Perets to give Colgate a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter the team you\u2019re playing, No. 1 seed or not, you\u2019re going to want a great forecheck and that\u2019s the mentality we had going into the night,\u201d Panetta said. \u201cWe stuck to our game plan the whole time. Levi (Glasman) had a great forecheck and it gave us the first goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That lead would remain until the third period, but not without a lack of chances.<\/p>\n<p>Quinnipiac&#8217;s Skyler Brind\u2019Amour received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for a knee-on-knee hit on Colgate&#8217;s Colton Young midway through the second period, giving the Raiders a chance to extend their lead.<\/p>\n<p>However, stout defending from Quinnipiac, including several key blocks from Desi Burgart, allowed the Bobcats to kill off the major and attempt to swing the momentum in their favor.<\/p>\n<p>Burgart was one of the few players Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold praised postgame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought Victor (Czerneckianair) and Desi were probably our two best forwards,\u201d Pecknold said. \u201cWe just lost our way tonight. We didn\u2019t do a lot of things. It was a struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After several power plays of their own, the Bobcats finally found the equalizer. A trickling shot from Ethan de Jong redirected off the post and the back of Gylander\u2019s leg pad before crossing the goal line four minutes into the final frame.<\/p>\n<p>The next 45 minutes passed scoreless, as neither side could find a winner in the third or the first overtime, stifled by the phenomenal play of Gylander and Perets until Mitton struck gold in the fifth period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe played our best game of the year, I don\u2019t think there is any question about that,\u201d Vaughan said. \u201cWe knew we were going to have to do that against that team \u2026 if you don\u2019t enjoy a college hockey game like that, you need to take up chess or checkers or something else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colgate advances to its first ECAC Hockey championship game since 2015, where it fell to Harvard. If the Raiders claim the Whitelaw Cup Saturday, it will be their first conference title since 1990. They\u2019ll play the winner of the second semifinal game between No. 2 Harvard and No. 3 Cornell, which is still ongoing. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Quinnipiac will look to regroup as it sets its sights on the opening round of the NCAA tournament this coming weekend. The Bobcats enter the regional round once again as an at-large bid after coming up short in the ECAC Hockey tournament for the seventh straight season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s probably our worst game of the year,\u201d Pecknold said. \u201cIt\u2019s the wrong time to do it, but it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAKE PLACID, N.Y. \u2013 An up-and-down regular season left questions for Colgate as it entered the ECAC Hockey tournament as the No. 5 seed, but any misnomers were put to bed Friday night as the Raiders sunk top-seeded Quinnipiac 2-1 in double overtime at the Herb Brooks Arena.
