On Friday night, the Big Green led late in the third period at Colgate's Starr Rink, but they had to settle for a 3-3 tie with the host Red Raiders.
The Big Green generally outplayed Colgate, but a late slashing penalty on Dartmouth gave the Red Raiders the chance they needed, and Colgate made the best of the opportunity, as Rob Mara knotted the game at 3-3 with a powerplay goal with 1:55 left in regulation.
Mara took a feed from defenseman Cory Murphy and wristed a shot that trickled just past the pads of Eric Almon '00.
The Green were actually up 2-0 in the first on goals by Cancelli and Buckley, but Colgate stormed back with a goal in the last minute of the first period. Colgate tied the game early in the second on a goal from Dru Burgess, who leads the ECAC with 21 tallies this year.
But Sturgis scored a powerplay goal at 15:34 of the third, which gave the Green a shortlived 3-2 lead.
Dartmouth outshot Colgate 34-20 on the night but had to settle for the tie. Both Almon and Colgate's Dan Brenzavich were sharp in net.
