HAMILTON, N.Y. -- Union rallied from two goals down to post a 4-4 overtime tie at Colgate Saturday night. With Quinnipiac losing, the third-ranked Dutchmen (20-6-4) now own a four-point lead in the ECAC Hockey standings (14-3-1 ECACH) with two weeks left in the regular season.

Kevin Sullivan sent the game into overtime, when he pounced on a loose puck that goaltender Charlie Finn failed to freeze in the crease with 4:49 left in regulation. Union finished with a 4-3 edge in overtime shots and recorded a 36-28 shot advantage for the game.

A wild first period produced five goals.

Colgate (14-11-5/10-5-3 ECACH) scored twice in a span of 1:13 on goals from Spiro Goulakos and Andrew Black. Union responded with back-to-back goals from Mike Vecchione and Daniel Ciampini to tied the game at 2-2. Ciampini's shot from between the circles produced his team-leading 14th marker, and was assisted on by Vecchione, who recorded his sixth multiple-point game of the season.

The 19th-ranked Raiders closed the period with a power play goal from Darcy Murphy at 19:14.

The teams exchanged second period goals. Joe Wilson struck on the power play for Colgate, deflecting a shot down low off a slapshot from Murphy at 9:24. Union pulled back to within a goal, 4-3, when Theo Di Pauli launched a shot from along the right boards that bounced past the pads of goaltender Charlie Finn.

Union will host Clarkson next Friday (Feb. 21) in Messa Rink.
