Around the ECAC: Men's Hockey Clinches Home Ice

Colgate (9-19-4, 7-12-1) lost to both the Golden Knights and the Saints this weekend, dropping them into eleventh in the ECAC, just out of playoff contention by one point.

In the game against Clarkson, senior defender Cory Murphy and junior right wing Etienne Morin scored the goals for the Red Raiders in the first and third period. Freshman goaltender Dave Cann made 26 saves on the night.

Colgate will face off against Union and Rensselaer this weekend while Vermont is facing the two best teams in the ECAC. With a win or two, the Red Raiders have a very good chance of knocking Vermont out of the playoffs.

Lastly, Brown (4-20-3, 2-15-3) finished the weekend with a loss against Rensselaer and a heartening tie against Union. Sophomore defender Paul Esdale and freshman forward Nick Ringstad scored goals for the Bears and Brown made an attempt to tie up the game with an extra man when they took goaltender Yann Danis out of the game, only to watch the Engineers score an empty-net goal.

In a dramatic game with Union, the scene was set for the tie with 17 second left in the game and a face-off in the Union zone. Junior defender Josh Barker worked to keep the puck in the Union zone and Esdale took a shot that was redirected by senior forward Doug Janjevich to tie up the game as the time expired.

The Bears are out of playoff contention, but are able to play the role of spoiler in their remaining games against Princeton and Yale to end the season on a high note.
