Colonels Down Golden Wolves, 5-3

Wilkes Barre, Pa. (Dec. 10, 2022) - Two second period goals propelled Wilkes University (5-7-1, 3-5-0) to a 5-3 victory over Alvernia University (5-5-1, 4-5-0) in UCHC men's ice hockey action Saturday evening at Wilkes.  

Wilkes got on the board early in the first period when Matt Carlson found the back of the net thanks to assists from Cole Jungwirth and Nick Godfrey, Wilkes led 1-0 after five minutes of play. 

Three minutes later the Colonels extended their lead to 2-0 when Joe Johnson and Cam Lowe assisted Phil Erickson who gave Wilkes a 2-0 lead with over ten minutes left in the first period. 

The Golden Wolves pulled one back in the 17th minute of the first period when Hunter Alden found Jason Finan who buried his shot into the back of the net to cut the Wilkes lead to 2-1 heading into the first intermission. 

The Golden Wolves fired six shots in the first ten minutes of the second period with Isaac Chapman firing two shots that were saved, Peter Falivena and Brendan McBride both had shots that were saved as well. 

Wilkes extended its lead in the tenth minute of the second period when Lowe found the back of the net on assists from Erickson and Steven Spetz to give the Colonels a 3-1 lead halfway through the second period. 

The Colonels made it 4-1 in the 15th minute of the second period when Jungwirth fired one into the back of the net with Nick Swain and Ryan Galvin assisting Jungwirth. 

Alvernia fired 13 total shots in the final ten minutes of the second period but were unable to sneak one by Wilkes goalie Michael Paterson-Jones. Christian Dahl and Alden both tallied two shots on goal and McBride and Rylan Gudnason both fired one shot that was saved. 

Wilkes extended its lead to 5-1 just over two minutes into the third period when Nick Swain assisted Max Cocchi to give the Colonels a four goal advantage. 

Alvernia got one back in the 17th minute of the third period when Andrew Deschenes fired a shot into the back of the net after assists from Matthew Davies and Gabriel Malek to make it 5-2 Wilkes. 

Deschenes tallied his second goal of the night just over two minutes later after Mark Tosti and Davies found Deschenes who beat the Wilkes goalie to cut the deficit to 5-3. 

The Colonels fended off the Golden Wolves en route to the 5-3 victory.
