Game Boxscore
Hamilton, N.Y. -- Senior goaltender Sean Coakley
registered 43 saves to record his first career shutout as the
St. Lawrence University men's ice hockey team defeated Colgate
4-0 in ECAC action Friday night at Starr Rink.
Despite Colgate outshooting the Saints 17-4 in the first
period, St. Lawrence got on the board first when Mike Gellard
recorded his 14th of the season from Jack O'Brien and Erik
Anderson at 14:43. Gellard received a rebound of O'Brien's
shot and hit a low shot five-hole past Colgate starting goalie
Jason Lefevre. Colgate outshout the Saints 43-23 on the
evening, but couldn't get one past Coakley and the St.
Lawrence defense.
The Saints made it 2-0 at the 5:28 mark of the second period
when Russ Bartlett scored his 12th of the season from Anderson
and Matt Desrosiers. Bartlett was just outside the crease on
the right side of goal and tipped a shot by Anderson from the
blueline to Lefevre's glove side.
Desrosiers' extended the St. Lawrence lead to 3-0 at 13:12 of
the second from Jim Lorentz and O'Brien. The third goal chased
Lefevre who finished the night with 12 saves in 33:12 of
action. David Cann finished the game in the pipes for Colgate
and allowed one goal and recorded seven saves.
O'Brien closed out the scoring with his third goal of the
season at 7:22 with a breakaway shorthanded goal after he
intercepted a Colgate pass at the redline and beat Cann with a
fake left and slid the puck in the right side of the net.
St. Lawrence closes out the ECAC weekend at Cornell on
Saturday at 7 p.m., while Colgate host No. 15-ranked Clarkson
in Starr Rink on Saturday.
