CLINTON, N.Y. - (Hamilton College Sports Information) Hamilton College's Dom Jancaterino '14 scored with 6.4 seconds left in the third period as the Continentals skated to a 2-2 tie with Connecticut College in a NESCAC game at Hamilton's Russell Sage Rink on Jan. 11.

Jancaterino's goal came with an extra attacker as Hamilton elected to pull Quattorcchi with 1:31 left in the final period. Brelih's initial shot never made it all the way through and DiMare ended up with the puck and found Jancaterino open on the left side of the crease for the equalizer.
Connecticut College (3-6-2 overall, 1-4-2 NESCAC) struck first 6:37 into the contest with DiPretoro's goal. Cangelosi found Veronesi behind the goal who sent the puck to DiPretoro in front of the net for the score.
The Continentals (3-6-3, 2-5-2) attempted to tie the game when DiMare took two shots just outside the crease, but Petchonka turned both away to keep the lead in tact.
The Camels extended their lead to 2-0 with 2:16 remaining in the period. Luke scored his team-high sixth goal of the year, while Meltzer and Sinsigalli were credited with assists.
Hamilton finally got one goal back with 3:27 left in the second period. DiMare skated up along the right boards with the puck and had a give–and-go with Michailidis that resulted in a goal for the home team. Lovejoy also earned an assist on the play.
In the overtime, Quattrocchi came up big making five saves, including two in the final 7.6 seconds to end the game. Petchonka made two stops in the extra session.
The Continentals held a slight edge in shots at 30-25. Neither team had many power play opportunities with the home team going 0-for-2 and the Camels not getting an attempt.
