Yale netminder turned aside 29 shots against Union. It was the four that eluded him that proved problematic in a 4-3 overtime loss. |
SCHENECTADY, NY—They
had their chance. The No. 20 Bulldogs were up 3-1 late in the game and ended
up
falling 4-3 in OT to No. 14 Union Saturday night in ECAC Hockey action. Anthony
Rinaldi, who had two goals, scored at 1:50 of the extra session off a rush to
give Union the come-from-behind victory.
Yale junior Robbie DeMontis scored a pair of third-period
goals after Joe Snively had given the Elis (9-7-3, 7-4-1 ECAC) a 1-0 advantage
with his second shorthanded tally of the year in the second frame.
When DeMontis, who matched his career-high with the two
scores, found the net the second time, on an extended power play, the Bulldogs
had an opportunity to put the game away in the third. However, the rest of a
five-minute advantage was wiped away with a Yale penalty and the Dutchmen
(12-6-4, 5-5-1) got their opening to make something happen in the third meeting
of nationally ranked teams.
The Elis, who skated to a 1-1 tie with Union in Ireland in
November before taking a 3-0 game at New Haven in December, got 29 saves from
Sam Tucker.
