A goal from
Kyle Denhoff 12 seconds into overtime broke a 9-9 tie and pushed Fisher to
a 10-9 victory over host Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa.
With the win, Fisher improves to 3-0 on the season.
Despite holding a 9-3 lead just over a minute into the fourth quarter, the Cardinals allowed Lycoming to strike back with a six-goal run, eventually bringing the game to a tie on a goal from Ed Williams. The Lycoming goalkeeper, Alan Antinarelli, recorded two key saves in the last 21 seconds, stopping last-ditch attempts by
Dave Malone and
Ryan Schmidt to save the game.
The Warriors’ run came to an end within the first minute of overtime, when
Erich Rassow won the draw for Fisher, allowing Denhoff to take over with the game-winning goal.
Denhoff finished the game with three goals and one assist for a team-best four points, complementing it with three ground balls. Four other fisher players had multiple-point performances, including
Mitch Ritchie (3),
Jeff Price (2), Malone (2), and
Chris Schmidt (2).
Jon Cortina played the entire game between the pipes for Fisher, picking up the win and recording 10 saves.
Fisher returns to action as it hosts its first home contest this Saturday at Growney Stadium. The Cardinals take on the Clarkson Golden Knights at 2 p.m.
