Robert Morris earned its first win at the RMU Island Sports Center with a 3-1 win over Bentley College on Saturday night. Kurt Wright was named the first star as he scored the game-winning goal and had an empty net score to ice the game.<\/p>\n
Christian Boucher had 29 saves in net to earn the win for the Colonials, who are now 2-3-0 on the year. Geordan Murphy had 32 saves in the loss, including 16 in the scoreless second period, for Bentley (1-3-2).<\/p>\n
Robert Morris took the lead at 12:36 of the first period as Tom Biondich carried the puck out the right corner, in front of the net and found a hole between Geordan Murphy and the right post. Bill Menozzi dumped the puck into the corner where David Boguslawski won it and chipped it back to Biondich.<\/p>\n
Wright added to the lead with his second goal of the season at 18:29, again with the help of Boguslawski. Boguslawski intercepted a Bentley outlet pass and flicked the puck ahead to Wright who squeezed the puck through Murphy’s five-hole from the bottom of the left circle.<\/p>\n
The second period proved to be the first scoreless period of the season. Jeff Gilbert nearly made it a three-goal lead, but his slap-shot from the left point hit the right post and squirted under the goalie.<\/p>\n
Bentley cut the lead in half 2:06 into the third period as Jake Plattner scored his first of the season when he took a Paul Markanian pass and put it through Boucher’s five-hole. Wright iced the game with 26 seconds left in regulation with an empty net score.<\/p>\n
The Colonials continued to struggle with the man advantage, not scoring on five opportunities. Bentley failed to score in their five chances on the power play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
