Senior Kyle Wilson scored Colgate University’s lone goal midway through the third period, and sophomore Mark Dekanich posted 24 saves as the Raiders rallied for a 1-1 tie on the road in ECACHL action against Clarkson University before 2,701 fans at Cheel Arena Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Colgate, which snapped a three-game losing streak with the tie, owns a 15-9-6 overall record and stands in second place tie in the ECACHL with an 11-5-2 mark. The Golden Knights, who defeated Cornell 3-1 on Friday, gained three points on the weekend against the top two teams in the league to improve their record to 14-13-3 overall and to 7-9-2 in the conference.<\/p>\n
Wilson spoiled the bid by Clarkson sophomore goaltender David Leggio for his first career shutout when he took a pass from freshman defenseman Mark Anderson and scored from the top of the crease for his team-high 22nd goal of the season to tie the contest at 8:06 of the third.<\/p>\n
Sophomore Shawn Weller put the Knights on top in the first with a power-play marker at 11:49. With 27 seconds remaining in Clarkson’s only man-advantage opportunity of the opening stanza, Weller took a perfect pass from classmate Nick Dodge at the left side of the crease and easily tapped in his 13th goal of the season, giving the Green and Gold a power-play goal in each of the last seven games. Sophomore David Cayer also set up the goal with a pass from the end boards out to Dodge at the top of the right circle.<\/p>\n
The Knights had several opportunities to add to their lead throughout the remainder of the game but could not capitalize on their remaining four power-play chances. Colgate was 0-of-4 with the man advantage.<\/p>\n
Leggio also finished with 24 stops as both teams had 25 shots on goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
