HARTFORD, Conn. – Five-straight goals ignited by Jon Krikorian (Windham, N.H.) in the fourth quarter sealed the competitive 15-11 victory over Colby College on Senior Night at the Jessee/Miler Field on Saturday. The Bantams extend their New England Small College Athletic Conference win streak to three before the final game of the regular season at home against Amherst College at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. Trinity improved to 8-6 on the season and 5-4 in the league, while the Colts fell to 3--10 and 0-9.

Colby opened the quarter with a goal less a minute and a half in the first as Bennett Goller connected with the net. Off the pass from Jack Almeida (New Canaan, Conn.), Ryan Werner (Weston, Conn.) evened the score at 1-1, before Harrison Ike (Allentown, Pa.) and Peter Cannon (Houston, Texas) padded the lead by two. The visitors retaliated with three-consecutive goals of their own to close out the quarter with the one-point advantage, 4-3. The second quarter received very little love with only one goal by either team as Andrew Bailey (Madison, N.J.) knotted it at four at all, before Goller gave Colby the 5-4 lead going into the half. The Colts netted the sixth goal for the visitors for the edge at 13:37 in the third quarter before a 65-minute lightening delay kept the teams off the field for a lengthy regrouping.

Trinity came out of the gates hot with a trio of back-to-back goals a three-minute span in the third quarter gave its second lead of the night with a 7-6 advantage. The third saw three ties and two lead changes as Hayden Shin (New Canaan, Conn.) found the net with 11 seconds remaining in the quarter to knot the game at nine apiece. The teams traded goals until Krikorian netted the game-tying goal followed by the eventual game-winner by Max Strid (Villanova, Pa.). The Navy & Gold grew the lead as Bailey, Almeida and Ethan Cobb (Matthews, N.C.) sent one passed the goalkeeper. In the Trinity net, Cooper Yaccino (Kenilworth, Ill.) made 19 saves, while Tuft's Will Rickards stopped 13 Bantams shots.
