Men's Hockey Falls Short Against Wesleyan

NEW LONDON, Conn. – The Connecticut College men's hockey team came up short, falling to visiting Wesleyan 3-2 on Saturday afternoon from Dayton Arena.

The teams traded chances in the opening 10 minutes, as both goalies came up with some early saves to keep the game scoreless. Wesleyan had a late chance to open the scoring getting a power play, but Kellen Beauton (Colchester, Conn.) kept the game scoreless after one.

Conn started the second period strong with an early power play, but the Camels were unable to beat Patrick McDevitt. However, Shane Zarcone (Huntington, N.Y.) opened the scoring for Conn at 11:39 as Ryan McKenna (Garden City, N.Y.) and Pete Stanger (Bathurst, N.B.) picked up the assists. It looked like the Camels were going to take a lead into the first intermission, but with 90 seconds remaining, Robert Martinello made it 1-1 heading to the third.

Neither side generated much in the opening minutes of the final frame, but Wesleyan found the go-ahead goal, at 7:46 Jack DesRuisseaux to make it 2-1. With just over five minutes remaining Conn had a chance to tie the game with a five-on-three power play, but Owen Mahar scored shorthanded for the Cardinals to make it 3-1 at 14:43. However, just 40 seconds later, Stanger fired home a shot off a pass from Reece Cordray (Verona, Wis.) to cut the deficit to one. The Camels pushed looking for the tying goal, but came up short, falling 3-2.

Conn outshot Wesleyan 31-24, while winning 47 of 67 face-offs.

Beauton got the start in goal, finishing with 21 saves. Stanger paced the Camels with two points on one goal and one assist. Zarcone added a tally, while Cordray and McKenna chipped in one assist. Conn finished 5-5 on the penalty kill and 1-6 on the power play.

McDevitt got the win in net finishing with 29 saves. Seven different Cardinals recorded one point, led by DesRuisseaux, Mahar, and Markham each tallying one goal. Wesleyan finished 0-5 on the power play and 5-6 on the penalty kill.

Conn (1-1, 1-1 NESCAC) returns to action on Friday night as the Camels travel to Williamstown, Mass. to take on Williams at 7:00 p.m.
