Game Highlights

• Lucas Michaud nearly gave Trinity an early lead three minutes into the game. Michaud intercepted a breakout pass in the slot and turned on net. The senior executed with patience and drew Alex Kozic but still could not best the net minder.
• The Bantams finally broke through at 12:45 in the first. Gerard Maretta handled down the center and carried towards the goal face. Maretta pulled right and buried a shot inside near post.
• Nate Clark had Bowdoin's most promising bid of the first with a breakaway into Trinity territory. J.P. Mella dropped to the ice and closed the game between his pads to deny Clark at the last second.
• Bowdoin tied the game with 2:53 remaining in the second period. Ean Small had the puck behind Trinity's net and quickly turned and fed Nate Clark on the left post. Clark flicked a shot just inside the post.
• Trinity won in overtime as Riley Prattson had the puck on the right side and found Andrew Troy in the slot for a one-timer.
