PITTSBURGH, Pa. - December 2, 2022 - Chatham Men's Hockey hosted Wilkes this afternoon in a UCHC matchup. After scoreless regulation play, the Cougars would find the back of the net on an overtime power-play.
Ricardo Gonzalez held down the fort defensively for Chatham, stopping all 27 shots he faced. At the other end, the Cougars peppered the Colonels goaltender with 32 shots.
Three-on-three overtime became four-on-four in the Cougars favor thanks to a penalty carried over. Warhoftig, Zack Conner, Caden Smith, and Nick Cyprian kept the puck moving before getting shots to the net. Wilkes would stop a few, but their luck ended when the puck found its way to Warhoftig, who fired a shot past the sprawling goaltender.
