NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Connecticut College men's ice hockey team played Albertus Magnus to a 3-3 tie on Tuesday night at Dayton Arena.Â
After three periods of play and a five-minute overtime period, a winner couldn't be decided. The first-line combination of Paul Capozzi (Lake Forest, Illinois), Anthony Quatieri (Peabody, Mass), and Seth Stadheim (Lyme, N.H.) produced all three Camel goals.Â
Connecticut College (4-7-1) found itself trailing 1-0 at the end of the first period, despite 10 first period saves from senior goaltender Mike McHale (Needham, Mass). The Falcons netted their first goal off the power play on a redirect from Cameron Weitzman. The Camels had several chances offensively, but were unable to score.
The second period resulted in positive results for Connecticut College. On the Camel's first score of the game, just under seven minutes into the period, Stadheim carried the puck swiftly into the Albertus Magnus zone and towards the center of the ice. His low shot caromed off of Falcons' goalie Logan Bateman's left leg pad and the puck found the stick of Quatieri, who buried the rebound goal to tie the game.
Later in the period, Albertus Magnus forward, Alex Gagnon, would be charged with a five-minute major for a hit from behind. The Camels capitalized on the penalty and scored on the power play after a redirect goal from Stadheim.
In the waning moments of the second period, after Harley Michaels dumped the puck into the Camel zone, Falcons forward Dino Antoniadis utlized a favorable bounce to shoot it past McHale and tie the game at two.Â
The Camels struck first in the third period on a silky goal by Capozzi giving his team a 3-2 lead. However, Albertus Magnus (10-5-1)Â answered with a goal of their own from Weitzman to knot it at three.Â
In overtime, each team was only able to muster one shot a piece and the game ended in a 3-3 tie. The back-and-forth contest was even throughout with the Camels slightly edging the Falcons in shots 32 to 30.Â
Connecticut College Camels will play NESCAC rival Williams College at 7 p.m. on Friday at Dayton Arena.
