Redmen 4 - Carleton 3

Game Report by Earl Zukerman

OTTAWA – Freshman centre Alexandre Picard-Hooper of Boucherville scored the game-winner and added a helper as visiting McGill hung on to defeat Carleton 4-3 in men’s university hockey, Sunday.

It was the third straight win for the defending league champion Redmen, who blanked Queen’s 3-0 on Saturday and have battled back to .500 with a 4-4-1 record after opening their 133rd season with an uncharacteristic 0-4-1 start.

The Redmen jumped into a 3-1 first period lead on goals by sophomore Evan Vossen (shorthanded) of Swift Current, Sask., rookie Francis Verrault-Paul (power play) of Mashteviatsh, Que., and senior Marko Kovacevic, a native of Serbia.

Scoring for the Ravens was Andrew Gibbons of Oshawa, defenceman Ryan Beard of Ottawa and Brandon MacLean of Burlington, Ont.

Netminder Danny Mireault, a freshman from Notre Dame des Prairies, Que., made 23 saves for the win, while Alexander Archibald was saddled with the loss as McGill outshot the Ravens 27-26.

The fifth-place Redmen, who avenged last month’s 4-1 loss to Carleton, trail the second-place Ravens (6-3-1) by four points in the OUA Far East division with a game in hand. McGill will begin a three-game homestand on Nov. 21 when they host the Toronto Varsity Blues.
