HAMILTON, N.Y. — The No. 11-ranked Cornell men's hockey team played to a 4-4 tie with Colgate at the Class of 1965 Arena on Saturday night.

Colgate picked up the extra point for standings purposes in the shootout.

Senior forward Jack Malone scored two goals, while fellow senior Ben Berard, junior forward Gabriel Seger, and freshman forward Nick DeSantis all had two-point nights for the Big Red (16-7-2, 13-4-1 ECAC).

Freshman goaltender Remington Keopple made 16 saves in 45 minutes of relief for starting netminder Ian Shane, who made six saves in the opening 20 minutes.

Colton Young factored in all four Colgate goals, finding the back of the net twice. Colton's brother, Alex, had two assists to extend his nation-leading point streak to 14 games. Nick Anderson chipped in a goal and an assist for the Raiders (13-14-3, 10-7-1 ECAC), who had a 27-save performance by Carter Gylander.

How It Happened

Berard, DeSantis, and Malone opened the scoring for Cornell with three goals in the first 13-plus minutes of the contest.

The first Cornell goal came just 73 seconds after the opening puck drop as Berard capitalized on a loose puck in front of Gylander.

Cornell's lead was further extended when it capitalized on an offensive zone faceoff after Colgate iced the puck. Seger won the faceoff to his left, setting up a pass by Berard to the low slot where a falling DeSantis found the back of the net.

Malone increased Cornell's lead to three goals when he wristed a shot from the left faceoff circle that beat Gylander over his glove. Freshman Winter Wallace used a drop pass to generate the space needed for the shot. Senior defenseman Travis Mitchell initiated the play with a chipped in pass off the boards from the neutral zone.

Colgate responded with four unanswered markers in a 16-minute span over the first and second periods to give the host Raiders a 4-3 advantage.

Two late goals in the first period by Colton Young and Anderson trimmed Cornell's lead to just one heading into the first intermission. Anderson's goal came with four-tenths of a second left in the period.

Ethan Manderville recorded his second goal in as many days when he netted a power-play goal 1:52 into the middle frame.

Colton Young netted the go-ahead goal for Colgate during a 4-on-4 situation. After partially losing control of the puck on a half-spin move, he quickly snapped a shot that beat Keopple.

Malone drew the contest even at 4-all with 4:07 left in the second period when he deposited a rebound on the doorstep of the right post.

Following a scoreless third period, the Big Red held possession for majority of the five-minute overtime, recording all 12 shot attempts generated by both teams in the period.

Colgate's Ross Mitton scored the game-winning goal in the seventh round of the shootout for Colgate after Gylander stopped sophomore forward Ondrej Psenicka's shot with a chance to force an eighth round of the shootout.
