A scoreless game for over 41 minutes erupted into a third-period shootout that saw Bentley overcome Robert Morris, 3-2, on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The Colonials were in search of their first-ever back-to-back wins, but it was not to be after they fell behind the Falcons, 3-0, in the third period.<\/p>\n
Canisius’ Anthony Canzoneri got the scoring started 1:16 into the third period, breaking open a scoreless tie by collecting a loose puck in traffic and finding the back of the net.<\/p>\n
Josh Thompson extended the lead to 2-0 at 11:08 of the third when he buried a rebound from a shot by Paul Markanian. The game looked all but over when Ryan Lessnau, who had assists on the first two goals, scored shorthanded after a poor clearance by Robert Morris sophomore goaltender Christian Boucher.<\/p>\n
Lessnau’s goal made it 3-0 with 7:33 left in the game.<\/p>\n
Robert Morris, however, came back with two power-play goals in the game’s final 3:48. Sophomore Brett Hopfe cut the lead to 3-1 after putting home a rebound from a shot by junior Doug Conley.<\/p>\n
After pulling Boucher with 2:16 left on the clock, the Colonials skated with a two-man advantage thanks to a Bentley penalty.<\/p>\n
The extra man paid off when senior Kurt Wright ripped a slapshot over Bentley goaltender Ray Jean’s shoulder with just seven seconds remaining, but that left too little time for another Colonial opportunity.<\/p>\n
Boucher finished with 28 saves for Robert Morris while Jean had 39 saves for Bentley. The Colonials went 2-for-10 on the power play while holding the Falcons scoreless on five opportunities.<\/p>\n
With the loss, Robert Morris drops to 1-2-0 on the year while Canisius improves to 2-1-0. The Colonials outshot Bentley, 41-31, including 21-13 in the third period.<\/p>\n
