ROCHESTER, N.Y. – RIT senior forward Elijah Gonsalves scored the overtime game-winning goal while grad-student forward Kobe Walker notched a goal and an assist in the Tigers 3-2 Atlantic Hockey victory over visiting Holy Cross, Saturday.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Holy Cross scored the lone goal of the first period after Jack Ricketts collected a rebound off RIT sophomore goaltender Tommy Scarfone's pads and scored from close range with 9:15 on the clock.
- After a scoreless second period, RIT got on the board with a power play goal 3:13 into the third. Holy Cross goaltender Thomas Gale knocked down a shot from the point by sophomore forward Tanner Andrew, but Walker tipped the loose puck over the goal line to knot the score.
- The Crusaders retook a 2-1 lead with 12:30 left in the third after Tyler Ghirardosi got a puck past Scarfone during a scramble in front of crease.
- RIT took advantage of a Holy Cross turnover off the forecheck to re-tie the game with 7:39 left in regulation. Junior forward Cody Laskosky got the puck in the right face-off circle and fed Walker in the slot. Walker dropped a short pass back to Laskosky for a short finish inside the right post.
- In the three-on-three overtime, first-year forward Simon Isabelle beat a Crusader to a loose puck in the neutral zone to create a two-on-one break. Isabelle skated into the right face-off circle a crossed a puck to Gonsalves in the left face-off circle for the game-winner past Gale's blocker.
- Scarfone improved to 5-1 this season, totaling 32 saves for his third 30-plus save outing this year.
- RIT took five out of six points from Holy Cross after opening the weekend with a 5-2 victory on Friday.
- Laskosky extended his eight-game scoring streak to start the season, also scoring a goal in the season-opener versus Union and logging an assist the last six games entering Saturday's contest.
- Isabelle scored a point for the fifth-consecutive game, notching goals in three straight games before logging an assist in both ends of the Holy Cross series.
