COLGATE MEN'S HOCKEY
DROPS HEARTBREAKER TO
NEBRASKA-OMAHA 6-5 IN DOUBLE OVERTIME IN MAVERICK STAMPEDE October 11, 2002 OMAHA, Neb.—Nebraska-Omaha’s Scotty Turner scored a power play goal at 18:45 of sudden death overtime to lift the Mavericks to a 6-5 overtime win over the Colgate University men’s ice hockey team Friday night at Omaha Civic Auditorium in the Maverick Stampede Tournament. Colgate freshman Eric Main was called for holding the stick at 18:33 to put the Mavericks on the power play and set up Turner’s heroics. Turner’s goal was a rebound off of a Greg Zanon shot that trickled through the legs of sophomore Steve Silverthorn. Down 5-1 in the middle of the second period, Colgate (0-1) scored four straight goals including three on the power play, to tie the game 5-5 and force a five-minute overtime period. A 20 minute sudden death overtime was then played after both teams did not score. The Raiders got on the board just over two minutes into the contest when senior forward Brad D’Arco shot a centering pass to senior P.J. Yedon who shot it through the legs of Nebraka-Omaha goalie Dan Ellis. The Mavericks responded one minute later on a goal from Greg Zanon. UNO took a 2-1 lead at 18:04 on a goal from Jason Jaworski.

and Joe Pereira at 7:14. Colgate cut the lead 5-2 at 11:05 on a goal from
junior Paul Kelley. Junior Kyle Doyle scored Colgate’s first power play
goal of the season at 16:38 as sophomore Adam Mitchell fed Doyle on a
