DAN HICKLING – EAST<\/strong><\/h4>\n

ECAC EAST<\/strong> – The marquee matchup in the conference – yeah, even in the entire country – took place on Saturday when No. 1 Norwich hosted No. 4 Babson. The contest lived up to the hype, and then some, as the Cadets eked out a 3-2 overtime win, thanks to William Pelletier’s tally (his eighth of the year) with just 27 seconds remaining in the extra session. The Beavers came within six seconds of pulling off a 2-1 upset, but Dean Niezgoda netted the equalizer for Norwich as time was running out. Norwich outshot the Beavers 49-19. … The night before, Norwich handed Massachusetts-Boston its first conference loss, 6-3, thanks in part to Anthony Flaherty’s two tallies.<\/p>\n

ECAC NORTHEAST<\/strong> – Activity was light during the weekend, with five teams hitting the ice, each playing one nonconference tilt. The Northeast’s lone winners were Nichols (9-5 over Assumption) and Johnson & Wales (3-2 over Potsdam). Sean Swansen scored twice to lead the way for Nichols, while Stefan Brucato scored with 1:18 remaining to lift J&W to its triumph.<\/p>\n

ECAC WEST<\/strong> – All action was out of conference, with the two-game set between Fredonia and Neumann providing some interesting moments. Fredonia took Friday’s opener, 4-2, giving the Blue Devils their second road win of the season. The Knights rebounded the following night with a 2-1 overtime win, with Anthony Pino providing the winning goal at 2:31. … Hobart came within a whisker of pulling off a road sweep of SUNYAC foes. On Friday, the Statesmen dropped a 5-4 count to the fifth-ranked Lakers, after having spotted them a 4-0 second period lead. The following night, Hobart used a run of four unanswered goals to shock Geneseo, 7-4. Brad Robbins (2g, 2a) paced the Statesmen attack.<\/p>\n

MASCAC<\/strong> – Just three conference tilts were staged, most notably Saturday win by Plymouth State, 3-2, over visiting Salem State. The first-place Panthers got goals from Ian McGilvrey, Chad Barthelmess and Tord Thoresen to support the 28-save effort by goaltender Gordon Caesar.<\/p>\n

NESCAC<\/strong> – The top four teams in the conference – Trinity, Williams, Amherst and Bowdoin – all of them nationally-ranked, saw plenty of action, with the No. 14 Lord Jeffs enjoying a twin-win weekend.

In that one, Tyler Whitney scored with 21 seconds remaining in regulation to give the Ephs the win.<\/p>\n

SUNYAC<\/strong> – Plenty of nonconference action on the weekend, with the most eye-popping result coming from Oswego, where the No. 5 Lakers were surprised by the 4-3 loss hung on them by sub-.500 Southern New Hampshire. The Lakers trailed 4-1 midway through the third, but made a game of it on late goals by Shawn Hulshof (his 10th) and Alex Botten (his sixth). … Buffalo State notched a gutsy, 3-2 overtime win at Nazareth, with Jason Zaleski netting the clinching goal at 3:41. The Bengals, which started off a dismal 1-6-2, are now 4-2-0 since freshman goalie Ian Sylves moved into the crease. … Likewise, Brockport, which struggled to a 2-5-1 start, has turned its season around, having won six straight, including Saturday’s 5-3 count at Elmira.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
