It’s the opening round of the NCAA Division 1 ECAC Hockey playoffs and RPI Engineers are paying a visit for a three-game slate vs. Harvard University Crimson, a team they shut out 1-0 on their last make-up date.
Well, in this away game, the team from Troy, NY jumps out to a 3-zip lead, extending late into the 3rd period, as the home team pulls their goalie, and scores at the 16:18 mark.
They pull him again and put in another at 18:02, then with 15 seconds left in the game are jamming around the net and freshman Matt Coronato(19) comes up with the puck to put it across the line for the tie.
At the 2:00 minute point of overtime, senior Jack Donato(10) is in the right spot to redirect the shot from the point for the 4-3 game-winner, and 1-game lead.
