AMHERST, Mass. – Amherst's Brandon Hew scored a goal 5:16 into the third period to tie the game up at two and then neither side was able to pull ahead as Norwich and the Lord Jeffs skated to a 2-2 tie on Friday night at Orr Rink.

The Cadets regained the lead with 3:46 to go in the period when Kyle Thomas put home his second of the season past Amherst goalie Cole Anderson on the power play, with assists from Scott Schroeder and Pier-Olivier Cotnoir.

Neither side was able to muster the game-winning goal in the five-minute overtime session with each team registering two shots on goal.

Dubois made 31 stops in net for Norwich and is now 3-1-1 on the season. Anderson made 29 saves for Amherst and is 2-2-1 on the year.

Norwich took five penalties for 10 minutes, while Amherst had three penalties for six minutes. Each team converted once on the power play as Norwich was 1-for-3 and Amherst was 1-for-5.
