Box Score NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Sophomore Anthony Quatieri (Peabody, Mass.) tallied three goals and two assists in leading the Connecticut College men's ice hockey team to a wild 8-5 win over Albertus Magnus at the Ralph Walter Skating Rink on Tuesday evening.
The Camels found themselves trailing by a 5-2 score in the early stages of the second period before lighting the lamp six straight times to close out the game. Senior Ryan Petti (Tewksbury, Mass.) opened the floodgates by finishing passes from Quatieri and junior Brett Stirling (Aurora, Ontario) at the midway point. Quatieri, who factored into the first goals of the comeback, then tallied a power play goal just over two minutes later and set up senior Jeff Thompson (Shelburne, Vt.) for his second marker of the season at 15:34.
With the teams tied at 5-5 heading into the third period, Connecticut College quickly earned its first lead of the contest when Quatieri and Petti connected for the fourth time of the contest at 3:44. Stirling and sophomore Chris Adamsons (Portland, Conn.) added insurance markers in the next nine minutes, allowing the Camels to run away with their second straight convincing win on the road.
Senior Connor Rodericks (Buzzards Bay, Mass.) was credited with the victory for making 15 saves and not surrendering a goal in a relief effort. He entered the game with the team trailing 5-2 at the 2:47 mark of the second and stayed locked in for the remainder of the contest while his offense came to life. Pierce Diamond of Albertus Magnus (0-4-2) was charged with the loss for allowing seven goals in more than 45 minutes of action. He also stopped 36 shots before he was pulled.
Connecticut College (2-1) will next face Williams in its home opener on Friday night at 7 p.m.
