CANTON, N.Y.—The Dartmouth men's hockey fell 3-2 in overtime on Saturday night to St. Lawrence.

The Saints opened the scoring just 1:07 into the game to take an early 1-0 lead.

Dartmouth answered back just 80 seconds later to tie the game at one. The Big Green had control in Saints' zone as John Fusco had the puck in the high slot. He slid the puck to Nate Morgan on the right faceoff circle. Morgan delayed and then took wrist shot through traffic that found the back of the net to tie the game at one. It was Morgan's first goal of the year while J. Fusco notched his eighth assist.

40 seconds later the Big Green took the lead. CJ Foley picked a puck up just inside the blue of the St. Lawrence zone moved to the top of the circle. The sophomore defensemen wristed home his 10th goal of the season to give the Big Green a 2-1 lead.
