Waterville, ME - The Colby College Mules (8-2-1) defeated the University of New England Nor'easters (7-5-1) by a score of 4-3 in a thrilling Monday evening matchup. Bobby Landry scored a goal with 2:22 remaining on the clock to seal the victory.

Jake MacDonald scored a backhand flip to make the score 2-0 at the 11:02 mark. Three minutes later, Molson and Landry provided assists to Connor Gallagher when he scored at the 14:35 mark.

The third period was a must-watch. UNE began to claw their way back, scoring at the 5:56 mark and again less than a minute later. At the 7:56 mark, the score was tied at 3-3 after another UNE goal. However, late game heroics from Landry saved the day for the Mules. M. MacDonald fought for the puck to the right of the net and made a no-look, cross-ice pass to Landry. Landry gathered once and buried the puck to seal a 4-3 victory.
