NORTHFIELD, Vt. – The Norwich University Men's Ice Hockey team dropped their first contest of 2023 with a 3-2 overtime defeat at the hands of Middlebury Tuesday night at Kreitzberg Arena.

The Panthers broke through first early in the second period after awakening towards the end of the first. The Cadets returned the favor early in the third on a rush by sophomore
Patrick Delvecchio (Mississauga, On.). Both teams traded powerplay goals in the third setting the stage for overtime where Middlebury defenseman Nolan Moore completed the hat trick with the overtime winner.
The Cadets will look to bounce back when they return to New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) play with a trip to Skidmore Friday night. Puck drop is set for 7 P.M.
