While the Army-Navy football game may have stolen the headlines down in Philadelphia, it was the #13 Union College hockey team that made the statement in the nightcap. The team's 6-2 romping over Army was powered by freshman forward Daniel Carr's first career hat trick, junior forward Luke Cain's pair of goals, and freshmen defensemen Mat Bodie's single goal. The team converted on six of nine power plays, marking a team season high.Our very own Keith Kinkaid made 16 saves in net to cap off his ninth win of the season. On Army's end, goaltender Jay Clark had a tough night to say the least. Army's 18 penalty minutes was no help in his attempt to defend Union's 53 total shots on net.
In a game that sealed Coach Nate Lehman's 122nd career win as Union's head coach, tying Charlie Morrison (1978-1988) for the school wins record, the Dutchmen improve to 10-3-3. Union will head to Kalamazoo next weekend to to play a pair of games at #20 Western Michigan.
And in other news...#15 RPI defeated #7 Boston University 4-1 at Houston Fieldhouse Saturday afternoon. Just comes to show any ECAC team can hang with the Hockey East this season. Bring on the NCAA tournament already!
