NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Union ran its unbeaten streak to eight games with a 2-0 victory over 14th-ranked Yale in ECAC Hockey action from Ingalis Rink. With the win, the third-ranked Dutchmen (23-6-4/17-3-1) swept the season series against the defending national champions while improving to 11-0 versus Ivy League competition this season.  

On a day he was named as a candidate for the Mike Richter Award, given to the nation's top goaltender, Stevens looked the part in making a career-high 49 saves and notching his fifth shutout of the season (and the eighth of his career).

"On some nights, your goaltender is going to save you, and tonight Colin did just that," said Union Head Coach Rick Bennett, who saw his team allow a season-high 49 shots on goal.

Union scored on its first shot of the night, as Sam Coatta redirected a shot from Matt Hatch at 1:55 of the first period.

Daniel Carr doubled the lead with a goal 39 seconds into the third period.  Sebastien Gingras drove to the net, and after his shot was turned away by goaltender Alex Lyon, Carr knocked in the rebound.  It was Carr's 16th goal of the season, tying him for the team lead.

Yale (14-9-5/9-8-4) pulled Lyon in favor of an extra skater for the final 1:18, but Stevens was up to the challenge as Union is now 11-1-2 against nationally-ranked teams.

Union closes the regular season tomorrow afternoon at Brown (4:00 p.m. start).
