MIDDLEBURY<\/strong> —The Middlebury Panthers scored four goals in the second period, three of which came on the power play, as the Panthers netted a 5-1 NESCAC victory over visiting Bowdoin on Saturday. Middlebury (1-13-2, 1-9-0) returns to the ice at 7:00 p.m. on Friday with a road contest at Connecticut College, while Bowdoin (7-10-0, 4-8-0) plays Tuesday at Southern Maine.<\/p>\n

The teams skated through a scoreless opening 20 minutes, with Middlebury getting the first quality scoring chance. Defenseman Brendan Dawson<\/a> collected the puck behind his own net with seven minutes showing on the clock and went on a nice end-to-end rush. He backhanded a shot from the left circle that grazed the cross bar. The Polar Bears had a late chance when Camil Blanchet turned on a loose puck in the slot that Middlebury goalie Stephen Klein<\/a> smothered.<\/p>\n

The Panthers struck for the first goal of the contest on the power play 1:27 into the second period. Danny Jacobs<\/a>‘ centering pass went in off Vincent Gisonti<\/a> and into the Bowdoin net to open the scoring. The hosts took advantage of another man-up opportunity 10 minutes later when Trevor Turnbull<\/a> cut through the slot and tipped in a pass from Travis Stephens<\/a> for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Bowdoin countered 1:34 later on a goal by Thomas Dunleavy. Dunleavy took a shot from the left post along the goal line that Klein stopped, but the Polar Bear forward lifted the rebound into the upper corner of the net at the 12:53 mark. The Panthers quickly got the goal back to make 3-1 when Kamil Tkaczuk<\/a>buried a rebound from the bottom of the right circle 41 seconds later. Middlebury converted on a third power-play opportunity with 3:41 left in the period with Dawson wristing a shot from the point that found its way through traffic for his second goal in as many games. Bowdoin came close to getting one of those goals back with 2:10 remaining on an odd-man rush, but Austin Ricci rang a shot off of the post to keep the score 4-1 at the end of the frame.<\/p>\n

In the third period, the Polar Bears made a push and Matt Sullivan nearly converted, but his scoring bid hit the post with less than seven minutes remaining. The Panthers capped the scoring with a fifth goal with 21.4 seconds left when Gisonti picked up his second tally of the game and seventh of the season.<\/p>\n

Turnbull finished with a goal and assist, extending his point streak to six games (five goals and four assists).<\/p>\n

Klein earned the win for the Panthers with 32 saves, while Bowdoin’s Nathan Colannino had 20. The Polar Bears held a 33-25 advantage in shots, but Middlebury excelled on special teams going 3-5 on the power play and erasing all three opportunities for Bowdoin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
