HAMILTON, N.Y. -- The Colgate men's hockey team outscored its opponents 13-3 this weekend in ECAC hockey action. Unfortunatly, Dartmouth College was one of those opponents.
The Red Raiders defeated the Big Green 6-1 on Saturday in front of 2,062 at Starr Rink in Hamilton, N.Y. Colgate improved to 5-2 (4-0 ECAC) while Dartmouth fell to 2-3 (1-3 ECAC).
The Big Green opened the game fast, peppering Red Raider goalie Jason Lefevre, and it paid off when sophomore Michael Byrne finally beat the freshman netminder by knocking home a rebound from Scott Peach. Ryan Sinclair picked up an assist on the goal for the Big Green. For Byrne, it was his second tally of the season.
Colgate answered Dartmouth's goal, though, with six unanswered tallies. Brian Owens netted his first of the season, tying the score at 1-1, and then the Red Raiders took the lead for good just 32 seconds later when Bryan Long wristed a shot past Dartmouth goalie Robert Delwo.
Jed Whitchurch -- who had five points against the Big Green at Thompson Arena last year -- gave the Red Raiders a 3-1 lead when he broke in alone and a roofed a shot over Delwo's right shoulder.
Colgate continued putting pressure on Delwo and the Green in the second period, outshooting Dartmouth, 11-9. Delwo made a number of key saves, highlighted by a brillant two-pad slide glove save, before Chad MacDonald scored a power play goal at the 12:31 mark.
With a 4-1 lead, Colgate wasted little time in the third period as Dan Wildfong scored his third of the season at the 1:16 mark. MacDonald closed out the scoring, netting his second of the game at the 10:02 mark.
