HARRISVILLE, R.I. - The #15 Curry College men's ice hockey team defeated Nichols College 3-2 Saturday afternoon in Commonwealth Coast Conference action at Levy Rink.

With the win, the Colonels improve to 4-2-1 overall on the season, and 4-2-0 in the CCC.

Neither team found the back of the net until Curry sophomore Killian Rowlee (Fulton, N.Y.) put the visitors ahead just under six and a half minutes into the second period. Assisting on the play were Eelis Laaksonen (Espoo, Finland) and Tao Ishizuka (Providence, R.I.). Nichols knotted the score just 1:04 later, leveling the score at 1-1 headed to the third.

The Bison took the lead with 5:24 remaining on a marker from Zach Vandale, but Curry responded 1:15 later when Austan Bellefeuille (Framingham, Mass.) twirled a shot past the Nichols netminder to tie the score. 

With 2:11 showing on the clock, Taurin Haddon-Harris (Estero, Fla.) gave Curry the lead for good when he deposited a George Vonakis (Abingdon, Md.) centering pass for the game-winning goal.

In net, senior Roland Polasek (Bor, Czech Republic) got the win, stopping 25 of the 27 shots he faced.

Next up for the Colonels, they will return to action on Saturday, November 25 with a road trip to Wesleyan. Puck drop is slated for 3 p.m.
