Simon Fraser University split a home-and-home series with Trinity Western University in B.C. Intercollegiate hockey last weekend.
The Clan club team lost 3-2 at the Langley Events Centre on Friday before rebounding with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Spartans at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Saturday.
Nick Sandor and game star Mathew Berry-Lamontagna, with the game-winner, potted goals in the penalty shootout to hand Trinity Western its first loss of the season.
Berry-Lamontagna also scored earlier in the game, tallying his first of the season in the closing minute of the opening period.
SFU led 3-1 after two on second-period goals from Trent Murdoch and Jared Eng.
But TRU roared back in the final frame, outscoring the Clan 3-1, including a score in the final minute by JP Villeneuve that sent the game into extra time.
SFU’s Andrew Parent got the win in goal, while Trinity Western’s Silas Matthys stopped 38 shots in the opposition net.
On Friday, the two teams traded goals through the second and third periods before TRU’s first star and the league’s leading goal scorer Cody Fidgett scored the game-winner on the power play with just eight seconds remaining in the game.
SFU trails league leading Trinity Western by just one point in the standings.
The Clan club is on Vancouver Island this Friday to take on the University of Victoria.
