NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's hockey team defeated Army, 5-1, in non-conference action at Ingalls Rink. With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 2-10-1 overall, while the Black Knights moved to 6-10-2 overall.
 
 
How It Happened

• Cole Donhauser got Yale on the board at the 15:12 mark of the first period. Shorthanded, Donhauser snagged the puck on a misplay by an Army defender and made a nifty backhand-to-forehanded shot that went bar down.
• David Chen made it 2-0 on the powerplay as he entered the zone and ripped a shot on net.
• At 16:18 of the second period, it was Donhauser again who jammed in a loose puck to extend the Bulldogs' lead to three goals.
• Army added a goal at 11:40 to cut into Yale's lead.
• Again—it was Donhauser on the puck as he dished a pass to Bayard Hall from behind the net to give Yale a three-goal lead once again.
• Donhauser capped his four-point night and sealed the hat trick on an empty net that gave Yale the four-goal lead.

 
Notes

• Luke Pearson stopped 22 shots in goal for Yale.
• Cole Donhauser recorded his first career hat trick. This was also the first hat trick by a Yale player since Joe Snively scored three goals against Princeton on Feb. 10, 2018.
• Bayard Hall has now scored in back-to-back games.
