BRUNSWICK, Maine – The Bowdoin men's ice hockey team mounted a furious second period rally to storm past vising Gustavus Adolphus in the opening game of the Bowdoin Colby Classic.
 
The Polar Bears are 4-1-0 and drop the Gusties to 2-5-0.
 
Game Highlights

• The Gusties scored a pair of power play goals the final three minutes of the first period to head into intermission up 2-0. Drew Holt fired a shot from near range on the right side and forced Jacob Osborne to make a kick save that deflected left. Hunter Newhouse intercepted the rebound and immediately put the puck on net. A diving Osborne could not get across the crease in time.
• Emil Samuelson banked a one-timer off the right post that looked like a no-goal, but the puck skidded over the goal line.
• Bowdoin shifted into gear right of the gate in the second period. Will Rice won a faceoff on the right dot and kicked the puck back to Ricky Volpe for a goal just 3:05 into the frame.
• Less than 15 seconds later, Bowdoin tied the game. Jake Minella fed Hunter Fetterolf who skated from neutral ice down the center and drifted left. Fetterolf rocketed a shot past Marko Belak.
• The Polar Bears took the lead with another goal four minutes later. Aidan Lyons skated the puck down the middle and put a wrister off the glove of Belak.
• A delayed penalty in the final four minutes gave Bowdoin an extra skater and another goal. Volpe curled along the top of the right circle, skated toward the slot, and put a shot near post.
• Bowdoin survived a six-on-four during the final two minutes of the game to hold the 4-2 victory.
