WATERVILLE, Maine – Suffolk men's hockey wrapped up its weekend at the Bowdoin Colby Classic with a 6-3 setback to Colby at The Jack Kelly Rink Sunday afternoon. The Mules scored three straight goals in the third period to break a 2-all tie and skate away with the victory.
THE BASICS

HOW IT HAPPENED
Will MacNeil punched it home on the power play 6:34 into the second period. The sophomore picked up Schram'srebound and snuck the puck five hole to give Suffolk the early 1-0 edge.
Colby flipped the script with a pair of goals over a 1:27 span to put the Rams in a 2-1 hole that it climbed out of 54 seconds after the Mules second strike of the day. Once again, a rebound played a part in Suffolk's strike as Schram picked up the pieces of Nick Liotino's attempt that was blocked by the Mules defense and Schram wasted no time roofing the puck home to level the playing field with just over five minutes remaining in the middle period.
Out of the second intermission, Colby poured in three unanswered to make it a lopsided 5-2 game.
Suffolk got one back with 1:26 remaining in regulation when Josh Milso popped in a rebound to bring the Rams back within a pair, 5-3. Schram picked up an assist on the play as well.
The Mules managed to seal the deal with a goal with 11 seconds to go for the 6-3 final.
