Box Score Hamilton, N.Y. – Sixty-five minutes was not enough to settle the score between the #20 Union College men's hockey team and Colgate University for the second season in a row on Saturday night at Class of 1965 Arena, as the two teams skated to a 4-4 tie with the Garnet Chargers winning the ensuing shootout 2-1. 

Union (8-3-2, 2-3-1 ECAC Hockey) has won two consecutive shootouts over Colgate (5-7-2, 3-2-1 ECAC Hockey) and six of its last seven shootouts since head coach Josh Hauge took over ahead of the 2022-23 season. 

Senior Parker Lindauer tucked away the deciding shootout score in the fifth round of attempts. The senior forward also led his team with two points on the night, dishing out a pair of assists to bring his yearly total to 13.

Union's two points in the ECAC Hockey standings were not guaranteed, especially early on as Colgate scored two quick goals within 23 seconds of each other early in the first period. 

While the Raiders had the advantage on the scoreboard after 20 minutes of play, Union outperformed Colgate on draws, winning 12 of the 15 faceoffs in the opening period. After one of Colgate's three faceoff wins at the 16:26 mark of the first, Lindauer intercepted a pass and dumped it back behind the Colgate net. That possession resulted in Lindauer picking up a rebound after a shot from junior Carter Rose and finding senior Brandon Buhr on the doorstep. Buhr shoveled Lindauer's pass home for his 11th goal of the season. Union is unbeaten (8-0-1) in the nine games in which Union's alternate captain has recorded a point, and Lindauer has assisted on six of Buhr's 11 goals. 

After neither team was called for a penalty in the first, Union earned the game's first power play midway through the second period. The Garnet Chargers did not score on their first trip on the man advantage but were outplaying the Raiders throughout the entire second stanza. They outshot Colgate 16-11 and broke through for their second goal of the game at the 15:38 mark. Sophomore Lucas Buzziol led his team into its offensive zone and left the puck for senior Carter Korpi, who snuck the puck through Reid Dyck's five-hole. Korpi registered his second score of the year and was one of 11 Garnet Chargers with a point on the night. 

Lindauer secured his fifth multi-point game of the season when he assisted on senior Colby MacArthur's power-play goal at the 16:49 mark of the second. Union has scored on the man advantage in five straight games, marking Union's second separate five-game streak with a power-play goal this season. 

Colgate had a golden chance to net a power-play goal or two of its own with a 5-on-3 that spanned from the end of the second to nearly a minute into the third. However, Union successfully thwarted the Raiders' first chance to answer back after Union took a 3-2 lead. 

While Colgate eventually did tie up the game and then take the lead midway through the third, Union once again had another answer for the Raiders' scoring outburst. This time it was sophomore Drew Sutton who scored his first goal of the year when he beat his classmate Ben Muthersbaugh to a loose puck in the crease. 

Neither team could light the lamp one last time for a game winner, but both teams benefited from 30-save performances from their goaltenders. Union's goalie sophomore Cameron Korpi finished the night with exactly 30 stops, and Dyck denied 32 Union shots. 

After Colgate failed to score on a power play during overtime, Buhr started the shootout with a goal, then Korpi made four saves to set up Lindauer for his clinching score. 

The Garnet Chargers travel to Belfast, Northern Ireland for the Friendship Four, beginning with a 2 p.m. GMT (9 a.m. ET) matchup against Sacred Heart University on Friday, Nov. 28.
