UTICA, NY - November 13, 2022 - Chatham Men's Hockey rounded out their road trip to Utica University today with an afternoon matchup against the Pioneers. After getting down early, the Cougars were able to tie the game back up, but four straight goals from the hosts would ultimately decide the game.

Utica would score two quick goals to start the game, but Chatham was quick to respond with two power-play goals. First to find the back of the net was senior Andrew Warhoftig, who was aided by junior Aidan Girduckis and sophomore Evan Mitchell. Thirty seconds after, junior Carson Grainer would score, with first-year Nick Cyprian being credited with the assist.

The second period proved productive for the Pioneers and fateful for the Cougars. Utica would score four straight goals within the first ten minutes, and these would not be answered until first-year Caden Smith's goal before the buzzer. Sophomore Zack Conner was credited with the final assist of the game.

In goal, senior Ricardo Gonzalez made 23 saves, including 15 in the first period, before first-year Nick Bernstein entered the game in relief. Bernstein would stop nine shots to end the second and 12 more in the third for a total of 21.

The Cougars are set to return to Pittsburgh for their home opener on Friday, November 18th against Neumann University.
