For the third time in four games we found ourselves in overtime on Saturday up in Brunswick and unfortunately came out on the losing end. After Tim Giarrusso tied the ball game up at 8 with less than a minute left and a flag was thrown for a high hit we looked to be in good shape but unfortunately we lost the face off and never saw the ball again.  Bowdoin did a good job of killing off the clock in regulation and keeping the ball into OT where they found a sneaking attackman on the backside for the game winner.

 

Once again our guys played their tails off and showed some resiliency as we gave up some backbreaking goals throughout the game.  Bowdoin scored at the end of the first quarter with less than 4 seconds to go and then also to end the third on a full field pass that was completed on the doorstep to take an 8-6 lead.  Our defense responded well and tightened up in the 4th quarter allowing us to get back into it but we couldn't get over the hump.

 

Captain Harrison Goodkind continues to play his best in big games, he did a great job on the defensive end and in the middle of the field.  John Jackson was his usual self at the face off x as well and continues to improve as we get further into the season.  Finally, Will Ernst made all the saves he should have made and stole a few, he played well enough for us to get the w.

 

Offensively we have some good pieces but are inconsistent and are easily taken out of our game at this point in the season.  We will need to make some significant strides going forward.

 

Not much time for this group to lick their wounds with undefeated and soon to be #1 or #2 ranked RIT (8-0) coming up on Wednesday in the Carrier Dome.  We'll then host #5 Amherst on Saturday, time to buckle up!
