ITHACA, N.Y. — Isaiah Norlin's second goal of the night, 1:11 into overtime, lifted visiting Colgate to a 3-2 victory over ninth-ranked Cornell before a sold-out crowd of 4,267 at Lynah Rink on Saturday night.

Norlin became just the third opposing player with a multi-goal game against the Big Red (17-6-0, 12-4-0 ECAC Hockey) this season. Max Nagel registered three assists — the first three-point game by a Cornell opponent this season, snapping a 32-game streak dating back to Feb. 21, 2025. Norlin's defensive pairmate Michael Neumeier added a goal and an assist for the Raiders (11-14-3, 8-6-2 ECAC Hockey).

Freshman forward Caton Ryan was Cornell's lone player to tally multiple points on the night, contributing to both Big Red goals. Ryan's classmate, Gio DiGiulian, opened the scoring 6:08 into the contest, snapping a shot that beat Dyck to his blocker side from the top of the slot.

Raiders goaltender Reid Dyck weathered Cornell's second-period pressure despite being outshot 12-5 in the middle frame, finishing with 31 saves — his seventh 30-save performance this season. While Dyck stood tall, Norlin and Neumeier gave the visitors the lead with a pair of power-play goals in a penalty-ridden frame that featured a combined 11 infractions. Norlin tied the game at the 10:17 mark before Neumeier gave the Raiders the lead with 2:32 left in the period.

Ryan tied the game up just 3:03 into the third period, finishing off a feed from sophomore forward Charlie Major, who posted his ninth point (4-5—9) in six career games against Colgate.

The Big Red appeared to seize control with 3:40 remaining in regulation when junior forward Jake Kraft crashed the crease and buried what looked like the go-ahead goal. Officials immediately waved it off for goaltender interference. Cornell head coach Casey Jones '90 challenged the call, arguing that a Colgate defender had pushed Kraft into Dyck, but video review upheld the ruling. The sold-out Lynah Rink crowd voiced its displeasure as the score remained tied at 2-2.

After Cornell won the opening faceoff and controlled early possession, Colgate's aggressive forecheck paid dividends. Easton Wainwright's pressure caused junior defenseman Hoyt Stanley to tumble near the Raiders' bench. Nagel capitalized with a toe-drag deke that set up Norlin, who lifted the puck over sprawling goaltender Alexis Cournoyer to split the season series. The freshman netminder finished the night with 19 saves.
