And at 15:24, Bala returned the lead to the Crimson with an unassisted breakaway goal, stripping the defenseman of the puck and slamming home his own rebound.
Only 41 seconds in to the final period, McDonald proved why he's one of the top centers in the league, effortlessly netting a wrist shot in the top right shelf, once again to tie the score. Campbell's goal at 2:57 came on another four-on-four, putting the Red Raiders up 4-3.
"Andy McDonald is a dangerous, explosive player," Mazzoleni said. "The
Colgate offensive uses him to his maximum capacity and I think we did a good job of shutting him down for the most part."
Turco once again capped the night with the equalizer at 10:24, sending the game in to overtime. A scare for the Crimson came only 18 seconds later when the Red Raiders crashed the net and scored what could have been the game-winner, had one of their men not been planted in Harvard's crease.
Despite a few offensive rushes from both teams, the extra minutes could not resolve the outcome, handing Colgate its first tie of the season, allowing the Crimson to snap its losing streak.
"I think we proved something to ourselves tonight," Mazzoleni said. "Things aren't going to change over night, but it gives us something to build on."
