WATERVILLE, Me. -- The Colby College men's hockey team is
unbeaten in the last 13 games after scoring early in each period as
the Mules took a 5-3 victory over Tufts University on Saturday at
Alfond Rink in New England Small College Athletic Conference
play.
Colby moves to 10-2-3 overall and is now 10-0-3 in the last 13
games. The 1961-62 Colby team has the all-time unbeaten streak
school record at 19 games (17-0-2). Tufts falls to 8-7-1 overall
and 4-6-1 in conference action.
The Mules scored in the opening 1:31 of each period to stay in
front for good. Mike Doherty (Lynnfield, MA) tallied just 1:02 into
the contest, but the Jumbos tied things up at 2:41 on a goal by
junior Zach Diaco (Rumson, NJ). Colby went ahead
2-1 at the first intermission when Tom McGinn (St. Albans, VT)
scored at 6:53.
Nick Kondiles (Lake Forest, IL) scored just 30 seconds into the
second period to make it 3-1 and then the freshman combination came
up with another goal when Michael Smigelski (Mountain Lakes, NJ)
tallied off assists from classmates Kondiles and Cory McGrath
(Yarmouthport, MA) at 16:38. Tufts cut the margin to 4-2 when
Mike Vitale (Brookfield, IL) scored with 2:07 to
go until the second intermission.
The early third-period Colby goal came from Jesse Lehman
(Atlantic Beach, NY) at 1:31. Tufts once again answered at 3:54 on
a score by freshman defenseman Trevor John (Grosse Pointe,
MI), but neither team managed a goal in the final 16
minutes.
Cody McKinney (Weston, FL) stopped 16 shots for the Mules, while
sophomore Scott Barchard (Reading, MA) had 30
