Quinnipiac vs. Colgate (copyright BobcatsHockeyBlog) |
What was supposed to be an exciting night with alumni weekend in full swing and the renaming of the arena to the Frank Perrotti, Jr. Arena turned into a nightmare when Colgate's Adam Dauda scored on the power play a little more than 12 minutes into the first period. Not even two minutes later, Colgate struck again on what turned out to be the game winning goal by John Snodgrass.
Quinnipiac made a change in the second period moving Brogan Rafferty to forward and Luke Shiplo back to defense. They seemed to get back into the game when Kārlis Čukste scored from the half wall to cut the deficit in half. Quinnipiac played well for the better part of the second period pounding 17 shots on goal but suffered a back breaking goal with .3 seconds left on the clock. Colgate's Mike Panowyk blocked a shot and raced up the ice on a breakaway before burying one past Shortridge. It is the second time this season that Quinnipiac gave up a back breaking goal at the end of the second period. They previously gave one up on the Friday night game against Northeastern which they eventually won 6-4.

Andrew Shortridge finished with 24 saves after getting his first back to back starts of the season. Colton Point was strong again for Colgate with 33 saves. Quinnipiac falls to 3-3-1 (0-2 ECAC) while Colgate improves to 4-2-4 (1-0-1 ECAC). The Bobcats now head out on the road to the New York capital region to take on RPI and Union next weekend.
