PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown Bears (4-16-1, 3-9-1 ECAC) tallied three goals in the opening period, but the Colgate Raiders (9-13-3, 6-5-2 ECAC) fought back to even the game in a 3-3 tie Friday night at Meehan Auditorium. The Raiders won the shootout for the extra league point.

"I thought the guys did a lot of good things; they had a great first period – it was one of the better first periods we've played all year," the Class of 1975 Head Coach for Men's Hockey Brendan Whittet '94 said. "We got a 3-0 lead, and they clawed back. We had chances, they had chances, it ended up being a pretty good hockey game. I thought we were on our heels a little bit as the game wore on.

"We need to look at the positives; it was a tie game, and we got a point. We scored a power play goal, and our penalty kill was pretty good. We've been pretty good at home, and we have another opportunity at home tomorrow against a really good hockey team. We'll be ready to battle.

"It's been an interesting week for them. I thought they responded pretty well, and I was happy overall. For me, I'm just going to enjoy being on the bench at Brown with this group for these last five games. It's a special place. I never take it lightly to have the opportunity to represent the college and lead this hockey team. I do it to the best of my ability; it doesn't always look great, but I pour my heart and soul into everything I do and have a lot of pride in what we've accomplished over these years."

Mike Cataldo opened the scoring 3:38 into the game with a short handed goal. Owen Dyer forced a turnover at the Brown defensive blue line and Cataldo found the loose puck and drove to the net and beat Colgate goaltender Reid Dyck (27 saves) with a quick shot.

Ivan Zadvernyuk doubled the lead less than two minutes later with his sixth goal of the season. The sophomore collected a pass from Charlie Gollob just above the goal line and beat Dyck with a bad angle shot. Zackary Tonelli added the secondary assist on the goal.

Ryan St. Louis capped the opening run with a power play goal 7:32 into the period. St. Louis received a pass from Alex Pineau in the slot and deked around Dyck for his seventh goal of the season. Tanner Hartman picked up the secondary assist on the man-up goal.

The Raiders responded late in the first as Bobby Metz tipped a point shot from Robby Newton to beat Brown goaltender Tyler Shea (23 saves) for his second goal of the season.

Colgate cut the lead to one 3:21 into the second period as Simon Labelle tallied his tenth goal of the campaign off assists from Ryan Sullivan and Max Nagel.

Labelle tallied his second of the game 10:31 into the third period to tie the game at 3-3. The senior finished a feed from Isaiah Norlin with Sullivan adding the secondary assist.

Shea robbed Daniel Panetta of a goal 1:10 into the overtime period on a Colgate odd-man rush. Dyck made a great save on Zadvernyuk seconds later to extend the extra frame.

Nagel tallied the lone shootout goal to give the Raiders the extra league point.

Tonight marked the 500th game for both Whittet and equipment manager Stephen Sanquist.
The Bears extended their unbeaten streak at home against Colgate to seven games. Brown is 3-0-4 in the span with Colgate's last win at Meehan coming on January 12, 2018.

It's the third-fastest three goals by Brown since the start of the 2015-16 season.
The three goals were the fastest to open a game since Brown tallied three goals in the opening 6:18 against Clarkson on February 19, 2016. Tyler Bird, Tommy Marchin, and Zack Pryzbeck scored in the opening minutes of a 5-2 home win over the Golden Knights.

The Bears close out the weekend tomorrow night against the 10th-ranked Cornell Big Red (15-5-0, 10-3-0 ECAC). Saturday's game is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. and will stream on ESPN+ in the United States and on Stretch Internet internationally.
