Clinton, NEW YORK- Colby visited Hamilton this afternoon as they finished their three-game spring break trip. The Mules came in hoping to get their first NESCAC win of the year. Colby stuck around, trailing only by two at the half, before fading down the stretch. The loss takes the Mules to 1-5 and the Continentals to 4-3.
The first half continues to be where Colby succeeds as they put up seven first-half goals for the second game in a row.
Jack Goller led the first half, scoring with three.
Doug McCarthy,
Jake Surette,
Henry Popko, and
Bennett Goller also had a goal a piece. In his first start of the season,
Will Rickards had ten first-half saves, which helped the Mules stay in it.
Justin Turley also continued his success at the face-off spot, with 14 of his 18 wins in the first half.
The second half Colby found the back of the net four times but Hamilton's five fourth quarter goals sealed the victory. Two of the goals came from
Jack Goller, which gave him a career-high five in one game. The other two coming from
Bennett Goller and
Max Solmssen. Turley led the Mules in ground balls with 13, while
Jackson Alvord had five.
Colby returns home next weekend on April 1st, as they take on Connecticut College at 1pm.
