NEW HAVEN, CONN. — The phrase “living the life of Riley” means being prosperous and satisfied. The men’s hockey team lived the life of Riley Nash on Friday night as it utilized the highly-touted freshman forward’s first career goal and then some tight defense in order to top Yale, 2-1.
Nash’s tally came with 5 minutes left in the first period. Junior Evan Barlow dumped the puck into the offensive zone, where it was intercepted by a Yale defenseman. Sophomore co-alternate captain Colin Greening was able to make a hit on the Bulldog player, though, and the puck came out to Nash, who slipped a wrister past sophomore goalie Billy Blase for the score.
