Syracuse, NY - The Curry Men's Hockey team began their weekend trip to New York with a loss to SUNY Cortland on Saturday, falling 8-3. The Colonels are now 7-2-0 on the season, while the Red Dragons are now 6-2-0.

Cortland started the game on fire, scoring twice in the first nine minutes. They then doubled their lead with a pair of goals in a 50 second span towards the end of the first period. The Colonels responded less than a minute later to draw within 4-1, but the Red Dragons would score once more before the end of the period, taking a 5-1 lead after one. They would add another in the second, and scored a seventh goal at the start of the third. Taurin Haddon-Harris and Gage Dill each scored in the third, but it was too little, too late, as the Red Dragons took the 8-3 win.

Shane Soderwall started in net for the Colonels, making nine saves. Cam Smith made his career debut in net towards the end of the second period, making six saves.
