St. Lawrence University scored three third period goals, the eventual game winner from Drew Smolcynski coming 1:19 in, and went on to snap a number of streaks with a big 6-3 win at Colgate Saturday night.

The Saints beat the Raiders for the first time in the last eight meetings between the two, won for the first time at Starr Rink since Nov. of 2012 in what should be their final appearance in that venue and handed Colgate goalie Charlie Finn his first career loss against either of the North Country teams in 11 starts, putting five past him plus an empty netter.

The Saints get a valuable sweep of the ECAC road series and will take a 9-4-2 overall mark and a 4-2-1 league mark into a pair of non-league games against Vermont to end first semester play. SLU is at Vermont on Friday and will host the Catamounts Saturday.

"I tought we played real well five-on-five tonight," said Saint coach Greg Carvel. "We knew their power polay was really good going in, but actually it was better than I expected. They really picked us apart.

"That was a good gut-check win. They came back and tied it, but I thought we were absolutely dominant in the third period. We used our speed and created a lot of offense and didn't give up much defensively. It was a good weekend with two strong games on the road and two points in the league," Carvel added.

Sophomore defenseman Nolan Glouchowski, who had not scored a goal in the first 14 games for the Saints, took care of that with two in the first period as the Saints jumped out to the early lead.

His first came from the center point as he gathered in a faceoff win by Ryan Lough and sent a shot which dipped and got past Colgate goalie Charlie Finn on the stick side at 6:05. While the first was relatively long range, Glouchowski's second came from the edge of the crease as he pinched in and roofed a rebound in a scramble in front of Finn at 16:01. Sean McGovern took the initial shot, Alex Hagen put the rebound back into Finn and Gluchowski cleaned it up for his sixth career goal and first career two-goal game.

The officials and the Colgate power play dominated the second period. The Raiders scored three goals, all on power plays, to offset one by the Saints and send the game into the third at 3-3.

Evan Peterson scored the first goal of the period for the Raiders at 4:04 as Kyle Hayton made the initial save, but the rebound went right to Peterson at the side of the net. The Saints made it a 3-1 game at 11:47 when Sean McGovern put back Ben Masella's rebound for his second of the year. The Raiders cut it to 3-2 on Mike Panowyk's first of the year on a power play one-timer from the faceoff dot and then tied it on a major power play as Mike Borkowski scored his seventh of the year when the puck bounced off a Saint skate and right to him in the short slot at 18:05.

Smolcynski scored his fourth of the season and his second game winner 1:19 into the third on a quick shot through traffic to make it a 4-3 game. Woody Hudson then gave the Saints a cushion when he scored on a power play rebound of a shot by Mike Marnell at 13:39 of the third, the Saints first power play goal in five games and the first in their last 22 power play chances. Gavin Bayreuther scored his sixth of the year into the empty net with 1:06 to play to wrap it up for the Saints.

Hayton finished with 33 saves for the Saints while Finn finished with 25 for the Raiders.
