NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The St. Olaf College men's hockey team came from a goal down to tie it twice, but Hamline University scored a late winner to top the Oles, 3-2, on Saturday evening at St. Olaf Ice Arena.

Hamline (2-4) held leads of 1-0 and 2-1 but Jack McNamara and Raymond Fleming netted their first-career goals to tie the game twice for St. Olaf (1-1). After Fleming tied it at 2-2 at 8:14 of the third period, Joe Collins scored the game-winning goal with 2:23 remaining for the Pipers.

Tyler Nyman put Hamline ahead just 2:24 into the game, putting home his own rebound after being sent in on goal. St. Olaf struck back just under 10 minutes later when Dana Engram found McNamara in front of the goal from behind the net after the Pipers turned the puck over deep in their own zone.

The score remained 1-1 until midway through the second period when Brendan Sheehan put Hamline back on top at the 10:23 mark. The Pipers took a 2-1 lead into the second intermission despite being outshot 20-7.

Fleming blasted home a slap shot from well outside the left circle on the power play at the 8:14 mark of the third period to tie the game at 2-2, but Collins cleaned up a rebound at the 17:37 mark to give Hamline the win.

The Oles outshot the Pipers by a 30-11 margin in the game. Evan Robert earned the win with 28 saves for the visitors, while Cooper Lukenda had eight stops for St. Olaf, which concludes its abbreviated season with a 1-1 record.
