At Thompson Arena, the host Big Green improved to 7-2-1 in their last 10 games as defenseman Tim Shoup scored the first game-winning goal of his career with just 7:49 left to play in regulation. His club established a new season high with 44 shots on goal, all but two of which were saved by Colgate netminder Colton Point who fell to 10-8-4 on the season.
Paul McAvoy scored the game’s opening goal just 5:08 in for Colgate, but the hosts answered at 12:36 from the person of Corey Kalk. The game was then scoreless until Shoup tallied the winning goal. Point stopped all 16 shots he faced in the middle frame.
Devin Buffalo earned his eighth victory of the season for Dartmouth, making 23 saves. Eleven came in the third period.
