Quinnipiac’s Mike LaRocca evened the score at 2:50 of the final period as Holy Cross and Quinnipiac skated to a 3-3 tie Friday evening at the Hart Center Ice Rink.<\/p>\n
Second-place Quinnipiac (13-11-3, 11-5-3 MAAC) still leads Holy Cross (13-11-4, 10-7-4 MAAC) by one point in the standings.<\/p>\n
John Bombard put the Crusaders ahead 1-0 when he collected a rebound in front on the QU net and fired it past goalie Jamie Holden at 4:03 of the opening period.<\/p>\n
Matt Craig tied the game at 1-1 at 6:18 when he carried the puck from behind the Crusaders’ goal and scored on a wraparound. Tony Deluzio scored his fifth power play goal of the season to put the Crusaders ahead 2-1 heading into the first intermission. Andrew McKay and JR Walker were credited with the helpers.<\/p>\n
The league’s most potent power play netted its second special-teams goal of the night when McKay scored at 4:57 of the second stanza to open up a two-goal advantage for Holy Cross. But Quinnipiac closed the gap to 3-2 when Brian Herbert sent a one timer past Derek Cunha during a power play at 13:45.<\/p>\n
Both teams were held scoreless for the remainder of the period and through the overtime session.<\/p>\n
Cunha stopped 24 shots for the Crusaders, including four in overtime. Holden made 24 saves for QU.<\/p>\n
