ECAC East<\/h4>\n

Fifth-ranked Norwich has dominated Middlebury lately and the trend continued Saturday as the Cadets nailed down a 5-2 win over the Panthers.
\nFive players scored goals for Norwich, which defeated its in-state rival for the 10th time in their last 14 meetings. Norwich is 10-2-2 during that stretch, but Middlebury still leads the all time series 80-59-8.
\nShane Gorman scored a goal and dished out an assist for the Cadets, while Erik Lyrvall, William Pelletier, Dean Niezgoda and Chris Duszynski all scored goals as well.
\nNorwich outshot Middlebury 17-1 in the opening period and held a 36-20 advantage overall as it continued its quest for a 16th consecutive regular-season league title.
\nMax Franklin came through with the game-winning goal in seventh-ranked Babson’s 4-3 win over St. Anselm on Saturday.
\nFranklin scored at the 15:54 mark of the third period as the Beavers won their third consecutive game, improving to 14-3 overall and to 8-2 in the conference.

\nTaylor Bourne also scored a goal, his first of the season, and Matt Owczarczak tallied his second goal of the year.

\nKyle Moran made 25 saves as he made his first start since Nov. 30.<\/p>\n

ECAC West<\/h4>\n

Elmira ended a nine-game losing streak to 10th-ranked Oswego and earned its third win over a ranked team this season as it took down the Lakers 3-2 on Saturday.
\nThe Soaring Eagles pushed their win streak to three games and ended the Lakers’ 10-game unbeaten streak.
\nElmira scored first, something no other team has done against Oswego this year, as Carter Shinkaruk put the Soaring Eagles in front 1-0 just 28 seconds into the game.
\nDylan Herold and Nick Angelo also scored goals for Elmira, which improved to 8-6 on the year.
\nSal Magliocco did his part in goal as he tied his career-high in saves with 42. The Soaring Eagles were out-shot 44-26. It’s the biggest difference in shots this season for Elmira.
\nNazareth ended a two-game losing streak on Saturday as it pushed past Cortland 4-2. It was just the second win for the Golden Flyers since Nov. 5.
\nThe Golden Flyers are now 3-12-1 overall and won behind goals from Julius Tamasy, Tom Seravalli, David Seward and Mark Zavorin. The goals by Tamasy and Seravalli were shorthanded. Prior to Saturday, Nazareth had scored only one shorthanded goal in its two-year history.
\nNazareth held a 38-29 edge in shots and avenged its 5-1 loss to the Red Dragons on Dec. 12. However, Nazareth did lose Tamasy for the rest of the season as he fractured his leg after crashing into the boards in the third period.<\/p>\n

\nThe goal for Johnson was his first of the year and the game was his first one since Dec. 12 because of an injury. Riesgraf scored his first collegiate goal and Saxton Soley made 22 saves for the Johnnies, who are now 9-6 overall and 4-3 in the MIAC.
\nSt. John’s has won four consecutive games and has come out on top in 15 of the last 17 meetings against the Cobbers.
\nGustavus Adolphus scored three unanswered goals and rolled to a 4-2 win over Augsburg on Saturday to complete a weekend sweep of the Auggies.
\nSam Smith, Alex Gallen and Andy Pearson all scored goals during the surge and Tyler Lapic scored a goal as well for the Gusties, who are 9-4-3 overall and 6-1-1 in the conference.

Williams earned an impressive win on Saturday as it knocked off third-ranked Plattsburgh in a nonconference showdown featuring two of the best teams in the nation.
\nThe Ephs, ranked 12th in the country, extended their win streak to five games and won their tenth game of the season.
\nCraig Kitto turned in a hat trick to pace the Ephs, who led 3-0 after the second period. Luke Stickel and Sam Gray also scored for Williams, which was outshot 36-21.
\nNot only did the Ephs win, improving to 10-2-2 on the year, but head coach Bill Kangas now owns the most wins as a coach in program history. He is 330-223-5 at the helm of the Ephs and is in his 25th season at Williams.<\/p>\n

WIAC<\/h4>\n

In a huge nonconference showdown between sixth-ranked Wisconsin-Eau Claire and eighth-ranked St. Thomas, the Blugolds earned their fifth consecutive shutout with a 2-0 win over the Tommies.
\nWith the shutout, Eau Claire becomes just the second team at any level of college hockey to ring up five consecutive shutouts. Lake Superior State last did it in 1994.
\nThe streak began for UWEC back on Dec. 14.
\nChris Heineman scored first for the Blugolds and Jack Callahan came through with the final goal of the night.
\nThe Blugolds were outshot 39-32.
\nTyler Green earned the win and has been the goalie in three of the shutouts during the streak. He made 39 saves and has not allowed a goal in 2014. Jay Deo has the other two shutout wins in the streak.
\nEau Claire improved to 11-3-1 on the season while the Tommies fell to 10-3-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
