Union Edged by Quinnipiac, 4-3, at Messa Rink

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Close games continue to challenge Union.

The 12th-ranked Dutchmen lost their fourth one-goal decision of the season, falling to 20th-ranked Quinnipiac, 4-3, in ECAC Hockey action from Messa Rink Friday night.

Travis St. Denis' goal with 52 seconds left in regulation broke a 3-3 tie in a game dominated by special teams.  QU finished 3-for-4 on the power play while Union went 2-for-2.

The teams exchanged power play goals in the opening period, as Daniel Ciampini's deflection of Spencer Foo's shot gave Union a 1-0 lead at 5:13.  Sam Anas then answered with eight seconds left with his team-leading seventh goal of the season.  Quinnipiac's Landon Smith scored the only goal of the middle period, striking at the 3:54 mark.

The contest turned into a see-saw battle in the third period.  Union defenseman Jeff Taylor evened the contest at 2-2 with a power play goal at 3:55, before QU reclaimed the lead on Tim Clifton's power play goal at 9:23.

Max Novak pulled Union back even at 3-3 with his fourth goal of the season scored at the 11:00 mark.

Union goaltender Alex Sakellaropoulos started his second straight game, and finished with 31 saves.  His counterpart, Michael Garteig, made 28 saves, including several from close range.

Union will look for its first league win when Princeton visits tomorrow for a 7:00 p.m. start.
