A few notes on the second Kent-Colgate game:
Kent 5, Colgate 5 (OT)
Right wing Andrew Dickson's two goals helped the Red Raiders salvage
their second straight 5-5 tie with the Golden Flashes. Kent raced out
to a 2-0 lead on first-period goals by Dean Sylvester and Roger
Mischke, but Clayton Fahey cut the deficit in half with 16 seconds to
go in the first. Claude Morin restored the Golden Flashes' two-goal
lead with a controversial tally at the end of the period, when it was
ruled that the puck had crossed the line before the buzzer had sounded.
Morin struck again with a power-play marker 1:48 into the middle period
to put his team up 4-1, but then the Colgate offense came alive, scoring
four straight times to put the Red Raiders in the lead. Brent Wilde beat
Kent goalie Paul Dixon at the 4:34 mark, and then Dickson got one with
Colgate a man up four minutes later. Bruce Gardiner tied the score at
9:05 of the third, and Dickson's second goal of the night, coming at
13:33, put the Red Raiders ahead. But Colgate couldn't savor their lead
for long, as on the ensuing faceoff, David Dartsch raced up the ice and
beat Colgate goalie (and Ithaca NY product) Jason Gates to tie the game
again 12 seconds later. Gates, a sophomore who was starting only his
second collegiate game, finished with 21 saves, while Dixon recorded 29.
The Syracuse _Post-Standard_ points to a couple of possible reasons for Col-
gate's sluggish 0-6 start in league play. Marcel Richard, who was the leading
goal-scorer last season for the Red Raiders, has been out with mono, and the
top two goaltenders, Shawn Murray and Matt Weder, have been wretched, with
GAA's of 4.19 and 6.44 respectively. In addition, Colgate has played a tough
early schedule (as has travel partner Cornell), with trips to the North
Country and Harvard among their first six games. One other problem, according
to the _Post-Standard_, may be the different style prefered by new head coach
Don Vaughan. The defense that Vaughan implemented is somewhat more complex
than what the team was used to under the late Terry Slater, and that has
caused trouble on the offensive side, where Vaughan is trying to install an
aggressive style of play.
With one-third of the season gone (44 of 132 league games), here are the
ECAC's statistical leaders (league games only):
Individual:
Goals - 11, Matt Mallgrave, Harvard

Shutouts - 2, Tripp Tracy, Harvard
GAA - 1.80, Giroux
Team:
Offense (goals per game) - 4.90, Yale
Defense (goals allowed per game) - 2.25, St. Lawrence
Penalty minutes per game - 29.5, Princeton
