With a 4-2 loss to conference foe St. Lawrence and no points on the weekend, the men’s hockey team suffered a fall from No. 2 to No. 4 in the ECAC. Even in victory, however, the Saints suffered as well — they watched one of their star players carried off the ice on a stretcher just minutes into the second period Saturday night.
The Red (11-9-3, 9-6-1 ECAC Hockey) had come to Canton, N.Y., anxious to protect its place in the standings. From the opening faceoff, however, the Saints (10-14-4, 5-9-2) were passing well and pushing into the offensive zone in an attempt to salvage a disappointing season. Capitalizing on an early power play opportunity, junior Saints defenseman Jared Ross scored from the left point only 1:23 into the contest.
