HAMILTON, N.Y. (1/18/08) - Colgate senior captain Jesse Winchester (Long Sault, Ont.) scored the game-tying goal in a 1-1 tie with No. 12 Clarkson (12-7-2, 7-3-1 ECAC Hockey) on Friday, Jan. 18, at a sold-out Starr Rink. The goal was Winchester's 100th career point, making him the 47th Raider to achieve that milestone.

Colgate senior goaltender Mark Dekanich (North Vancouver, B.C.) kept his team in the game by making 36 saves, including 16 in the second period as his team was outshot 17-8. Clarkson senior David Leggio finished the game with 26 saves.

Clarkson got on the board midway through the second period with a power-play goal. Chris D'Alvise took a shot from the right point which was deflected in front of the net by Nick Dodge. Dekanich stopped the shot, but New Hartford native Steve Zalewski was left open on the left side, and he swept in the rebound low on the stick side.

The Raiders (8-9-4, 2-4-3 ECAC Hockey) responded with a power-play goal of their own 3:59 into the third period. Senior Tyler Burton (Langley, B.C.) won the faceoff to Winchester, who one-timed a pass to freshman Kevin McNamara (Chestnut Hill, Mass.) on the right point. McNamara skated to the opposite side, and shot from the left dot. The rebound came to Winchester in front of the crease, and he put it past Leggio, through traffic, high on the glove side.

Colgate earned a 46-36 advantage on faceoffs, paced by senior Ben Camper (Rocky River, Ohio), who won all nine of the draws he attempted. The Raiders were 1-for-5 on the power play, while the Golden Knights finished 1-for-4.
