SCHENECTADY,
NY— Corbin Kaczperski stopped 62 of 63 shots to lead the
Yale Men’s Hockey Team to a conference weekend sweep and a four-point weekend
on the road. The senior goalie notched 26 of those saves in a 2-0 win at Union on
Saturday night. The Bulldogs defeated RPI, 4-1, in Troy, NY, on Friday night.
Junior Tyler Welsh gave the Blue a 1-0 lead at 14:22 of
the first when he took a feed from sophomore Justin Pearson and fired
a shot from the left circle that went through a Curtis Hall screen
and into the top of the net.
The visitors, who were unsuccessful scoring on a five-minute
advantage early in the second frame, used that situation to wear down the
Dutchmen enough to up the lead later with a Luke Stevens tip-in. The
senior forward got his stick on a rising slapshot from the point.
While Yale was taking control of the game at the offensive end,
Kaczperski was making big saves in the other zone.
“It was a great weekend for our group,” said Keith Allain ’80,
Yale’s Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach. “We really came together as a team and
played outstanding hockey. Our goaltending and team defense made the difference
for us.”
Allain and the Bulldogs (4-7-0, 4-6-0 ECAC) are back in action on
Tuesday night at 7 when the Maine Black Bears come to Ingalls Rink. The game
will be televised throughout New England on NESN and streamed on ESPN+.
