COACH HARDER'S COMMENTS
"We played well. It was a tough game and we deserve better. We will learn from it and those lessons will serve us well moving forward."HOW IT HAPPENED
- Andone Cerbone topped off his hat trick with just over two minutes to play in the third, giving the Bobcats a 4-3 advantage. Travis Treloar and Jack Ricketts added insurance thanks to empty netters with less than a minute and a half left.
- Alex DiPaolo scored what he thought was the go-ahead goal with just over three minutes left in the third, but it got called off for goaltender interference.
- Cerbone tied the game at 3-3 with his second of the contest on a power play just over halfway through the third.
- Quinnipiac made it a one-goal game with a tally from Cerbone six minutes into the second.
- Reid Irwin had given the Raiders a 3-1 advantage just under three minutes into the second. Ben Raymond got in on goal but could not get a shot off, and the puck landed at Niko Rexine's stick, who dished it to Irwin. The senior skated toward center ice before ripping a wrister that went bar down.
- Andrew Takacs made 14 saves in the middle frame, preventing the Bobcats from adding another in the period.
- Max Nagel made it 2-1 Colgate at the 13:57 mark of the first. Michael Neumeier hit the puck down the ice to DiPaolo, who got free on a two-on-one. He passed back to Nagel, who finished off a shot.
- Quinnipiac scored a minute and 18 seconds after Colgate's first goal in the first period to even the score at 1-1.
