Hartford, Conn. -  Junior attackman Harper Cullen (Rehoboth Beach, Del.) netted two goals including a game-tying, and a game-winning goal late in the fourth period to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 8-6 win over the visiting Roger Williams University Hawks.   Trinity, ranked No. 19 in the nation, improves to 10-3 overall, recording their first 10-win season since 1992. The Hawks fall to 7-4 with the loss. 

The Bantams jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal from senior Thomas Rogers (Simsbury, Conn.), an advantage that didn't last long as it was one of seven lead changes in the game.  The Hawks found themselves on top of the see-saw battle after senior Dave Hurley (Hanover, Mass.) scored back-to-back fourth period goals to give the Hawks a 6-5 lead after a Trinity penalty.

Late in the fourth, Cullen was able to tie the match at 6-6, shifting momentum back in favor of the Bantams at the right time.  Cullen followed the crucial goal with another one, giving the Bantams the lead for good with 4:40 seconds left in the game.  Trinity senior Zachary Trudeau (Norwell, Mass.) put the game out of reach with a goal with 2:10 remaining.
