For Raymond Sawada, it’s easy beating Green. After only tallying four goals in the regular season, the senior co-captain erupted for five total goals in this weekend’s three-game ECAC Hockey first-round series against Dartmouth, including two last night at Lynah Rink. Sawada’s outburst last night helped lead the men’s hockey team off the brink of elimination and past the Green, 6-0. With the win, the Red won the three-game series, 2-1, and advanced to the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals next weekend at Union.
“I don’t think there was much difference [this weekend] other than me not trying to think about it,” Sawada said. “There were some great passes, and catching the goalie looking somewhere else.”
