With just two-tenths of a second remaining in the third period, Shawn Fensel scored the game-tying goal for the St. Lawrence Saints to earn a 2-2 decision against the Quinnipiac Bobcats Saturday evening. <\/p>\n
Corralling a loose puck in front of the net, Fensel banged it past Quinnipiac’s Bud Fisher. It was Fensel’s first goal of the season.<\/p>\n
The Saints (4-5-1, 1-3-1 ECAC) scored two third period goals to earn one point in the game.<\/p>\n
“We buckled down and tried to match their intensity and it was a very tight and physical game,” St. Lawrence head coach Joe Marsh said. <\/p>\n
The Bobcats (3-3-2, 1-1-2 ECAC) got on the board first just 28 seconds into the contest. David Marshall received the puck from Mike Atkinson at center ice, came into the zone on a breakaway and snapped a shot past Saints’ goaltender Kain Tisi. Dan Henningson also had an assist on the goal. <\/p>\n
“It was kind of a broken play and Atkinson put it in my wheelhouse,” said Marshall. “I got lucky. A lot of credit goes to Mike; he did a great job battling.”<\/p>\n
The Bobcats doubled up St. Lawrence in shots in the period, 10-5.<\/p>\n
“I thought we played well in the first,” said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold. “We played very well at times, struggled a little bit at times.” <\/p>\n
The Bobcats took a two goal lead on a Jean-Marc Beaudoin shorthanded goal. Matt Sorteberg deflected a pass attempt by the Saints and the puck trickled out of the zone. Beaudoin came in on a two-on-one with Brandon Wong. Beaudoin elected to shoot and bounced the puck off the crossbar and in for a two goal advantage.<\/p>\n
Just five minutes into the third period, the Saints got a five-on-three power play and capitalized on the two man advantage. Casey Parenteau deflected home a shot from Zach Miskovic at the point to cut the deficit in half with just over fourteen minutes to play in the third.<\/p>\n
“I thought we had pretty good intensity in the third,” said Marsh. “We finally got a power play goal. We feel like we really dodged a bullet.”<\/p>\n
Still down one goal, St. Lawrence called time out with 90 seconds remaining, looking to even the score, and did so with Fensel’s goal. <\/p>\n
“I wanted the guys to rest a little bit [after regulation],” said Pecknold. I thought we played a pretty good overtime.”<\/p>\n
Both teams recorded three shots in overtime, but the game remained 2-2. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
