Reserves Shine As CC Cruises Past Cornell

Box Score On a clear day, the view from the Washburn Field stands is among the best in the nation.
 
On Thursday afternoon, the view from the Colorado College sideline was almost as good.
 
Head coach Sean Woods saw exactly what he wanted during the Tigers' 21-10 victory over Cornell College on a picture-perfect day.
 
CC's first and second teams got a chance to shake off their end-of-the-block blues and the reserves earned an opportunity to play some meaningful minutes for the first time this season. Most importantly, the Tigers were able to rest their starters during the second half as they look ahead to Friday's game against a formidable Wittenberg University squad.
 
"It was a great team day," Woods said. "The guys have been busting their butts in practice every day of the week, giving up a lot of their time and not getting minutes on game day. We were able to reward those guys with some good minutes and they played hard."
 
Eleven players scored at least one goal, while four others added an assist to help Colorado College amass a season-high 21 goals.
 
Junior Austin Davie recorded a game-high five points with three goals and a pair of assists. Senior attacker Robert Prior and freshman midfielder Robbie Paul also found the net three times apiece for CC.
 
Sophomore attacker Robert Stern and freshman attacker Chris Brower gave the Tigers one-goal leads early in the first period, but the Rams responded each time with tallies by sophomore midfielder Carlos Siguenza and freshman attackman Jack Bilenduke.
 
Prior's marker with 5:39 remaining in the first quarter gave Colorado College a 3-2 lead, and the Tigers scored the first five goals of the second period to build an 8-2 cushion.
 
After the teams traded scores early in the third quarter, CC scored five in a row to build its first double-digit lead at 14-4.
 
Cornell utilized a 4-1 run to trim its deficit to eight with 2:38 to play in the third frame, but the Tigers answered with three markers to build an 18-7 lead with 12:40 remaining.  
 
In addition to Paul, freshman midfielder Daniel Lunghamer and freshman attackman Harrison Raine scored their first collegiate goals. Freshman attacker Ethan Moore earned his first point with an assist. 
 
Six other players made their first appearance of the season for Colorado College.
 
"For a lot of those guys, it was their first game experience," Woods said. "They brought a lot of energy. I was impressed with the guys who don't usually get playing time."
 
The Tigers finished with a 56-26 advantage in total shots and a 48-32 edge in ground balls.
 
Senior goaltender Chase Murphy made five saves for CC, while sophomore Brice Tucker stopped three shots during 23:07 in net. Freshman Henry Hinds played the final 6:53.
 
Cornell won 19 of 35 faceoffs, but committed 30 turnovers compared to only 14 for Colorado College.
 
Siguenza posted a team-high four points for the Rams, scoring three times and assisting on one more. He also won 18 of 31 faceoffs and grabbed a game-high 11 ground balls.
 
Sophomore midfielder Conor Hollowell also struck for three goals, while sophomore midfielder A.J. Fisher added a pair.
 
Second-year goaltender Evan Kedjidjian made seven saves for Cornell, which dropped to 0-3 on the season.
