Quinn Posts Hat Trick as Men's Hockey Completes Weekend Sweep of Colby

Box Score

WATERVILLE,Maine  - Connor Quinn netted a hat trick to lead the Bowdoin College men's ice hockey team to its second win in as many days over Colby, 6-3, on Saturday evening at Alfond Arena.

The Polar Bears remain unbeaten and improve to 3-0-1 this season. Bowdoin has dominated the long-time series of late, winning 11 of the last 13 meetings, including five-straight at Alfond. The Mules remain winless at 0-3-1. Bowdoin defeated Colby, 5-3, at Watson Arena on Friday. 

With two assists on the evening, Bowdoin's John McGinnis surpassed the 100-point mark for his career. He is the 36th Polar Bear in school history to reach the milestone.

As they did on Friday evening, the Mules jumped ahead 2-1, getting another early goal - this time from EJ Rauseo just 1:17 into the contest. Bowdoin evened it on Brendan Conroy's first career goal at 7:47 before Mario Benicky's power play marker put Colby back on top at 12:51. Bowdoin got a key goal from Quinn just 52 seconds before the end of the period, however, to deadlock the contest heading into the first intermission. 

Bowdoin began to assert control of the contest in the second period and completely dominated the action for the remainder, starting with two goals in the second period. Bowdoin took the lead for good on Kendall Culbertson's first goal the season and added a power play goal from Matthew Lison to make it 4-2 after two frames. The onslaught continued in the third, as Quinn posted a shorthanded goal, stealing the puck at the blue line and beating two Colby defenders before sliding the puck past Emerson Verrier to make it 5-2. Quinn put home a power play goal at 10:14 to complete the hat trick and make it 6-2. Cam MacDonald scored a late goal for Colby to round out the scoring.

Peter Cronin earned his first collegiate win in net for Bowdoin by stopping 39 shots. The Polar Bears will return to action on Tuesday evening when they play at the University of New England at 7:00 p.m.
