Buffs' Club Hockey Prevails Against Northern Colorado

Conor Williams had a hat trick – the first since the 2008 season -- and the Buffs men’s club hockey team received two goals apiece from Scot Seale and Charlie Coleman as the Buffs routed Northern Colorado’s men’s club hockey team 10-3 on Friday night at the Colorado Recreation Center.

The game was never even close as the Buffs were able to create an almost insurmountable lead right out of the gate scoring in the first minute of the contest.

The Buffs then scored four goals in three minutes to start the second period and the rout was really on.

Buff’s goalie Kevin Litisnky was terrific, stopping 38 of the 41 shots on goal that he saw.

Defense in between the blue lines also played a huge role in the Buff’s route. The Buff’s defenders were aggressive all game delivering multiple checks and knocking Northern Colorado’s forward out of their alignment for much of the contest.

After going 0-10 on power plays in its previous game against Colorado State, Colorado scored only one goal off of power plays in this game going 1-6. Northern Colorado also added a power play goal going 1-7 on the evening.

The Buffs are now 6-4-1 on the season, while Northern Colorado dropped to 4-7 on the campaign. Colorado will look to continue their winning ways when they travel to Utah State for a game Thursday, November 18.
