NEW LONDON, Conn. — For back-to-back road wins this weekend, the Trinity College men's ice hockey program extends its win streak to seven in 2-0 shutout over the Connecticut College Camels on Saturday. Trinity improved to 11-5 and 8-2 in the New England Small College Athletic Conference, while the Camels dropped to 2-13 and 0-10. The Bantams host league opponent Hamilton College in the Koeppel Community Sports Center on January 27 with a 7:30 p.m. puck drop.
At 6:18 in the opening period,
Jacob Borgida (Minneapolis, Minn.) slipped his defender and netted the eventual game-winning goal off the pass from
Devan Tongue to put Trinity up, 1-0.
Gerard Maretta padded the Bantam lead with an unassisted insurance goal with less than five minutes remaining in the second period. The home team had six chances to even the score in the first two periods but first-year goaltender
Devon Bobak (Northwood, Ohio) denied all the Camel pucks, while Borgida and
Casey Rhodes (Huntington Beach, Calif.) both blocked a shot to keep Connecticut off the board in the first. The closest the Camels had to knot the game was a rebounded puck off the blocked shot from
Theodore Griffin (Marshfield, Mass.) by Reid Shafer that kissed the pipe and ricocheted back into play.
The Camels fired seven shots on target in the first and third period, with a quiet trio in the second as Bobak made 17 saves. In the cage on the other side of the ice, Cam Fernandez caught 30 Trinity pucks with 13 coming from the opening period and the goalie totaled 30 saves. The Bantams have a quartet of powerplay chances but couldn't capitalize off 10 total shots, while the Camels only saw a single shorthanded opportunity.
