New London, Conn. - Senior captain forwards Chris Menard (Burlington, Mass.) and Zachary Lombardi (Locust Valley, N.Y.) scored two goals each to lead the visiting Trinity College Bantam men's ice hockey team to a 6-0 blanking of the Connecticut College Camels in a New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) game played at Dayton Arena this afternoon.  The Bantams improve to 1-0-1, while the Camels fall to 0-2.  Junior net-minder Benjamin Coulthard (South Windsor, Conn.) made 33 saves en route to the shutout.  Connecticut College junior Mike Petchonka (Ridgefield, Conn.) had 31 saves for the hosts.

Trinity opened the scoring on the power play as Chris Menard scored with assists coming from twin brother and fellow senior captain Jeff Menard (Burlington, Mass.) and senior forward Jordan So (Toronto, Ontario). Less than two minutes later at the 8:05 mark, sophomore forward Jackson Brewer (Newton, Mass.) induced a Camel turnover and fed rookie forward Elie Vered (Ottawa, Canada) for a goal at point-blank distance. With 4:48 remaining in the first, the Bantams added a third goal in transition when Chris Menard put the finishing touches on a pass from Jeff Menard at the far post.  The Bantams tacked on two more scored in the second and one in the third to close out the onslaught.  Trinity out-shot the Camels 37-to-33 in the triumph and was 2-for-4 on the power play.
