RPI defeated Yale 6-5 in OT after Yale dominated the first 47 minutes of this afternoon's contest. Yale outplayed, outhustled, and out everythinged RPI for the first 47 minutes enroute to a 4-1 lead. They had this lead going into the 3rd when RPI all of a sudden showed signs of life. Yale had built a 4-1 lead based on a PPG, a 4 on 4 goal, and a shorthander as they dominated the boards and the neutral zone on RPI. RPI came to life approximately 7 minutes into the third on the power play with Askew's goal, and the got back to within 1 less than 2 minutes later at even strength. Dunlap gave the bulldogs back the 2 goal lead in the second, but the Engineers came back again on goals by Hamelin and Perardi, and we ended regulation at a tie of 5. Yale came out quickly in OT, and controlled the zone, but Askew broke out of the zone and went past Dan Brierly along the boards and took a shot which was blocked in front by a combination of Giroux and Clarke on the ice, and the puck came to Matthews and at 0:47 of OT, Matthews drilled it home to give the Engineers a come from behind 6-5 victory.
