January 16, 2026 | Hockey
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point hockey (9-10-5, 4-9-3 Atlantic Hockey America) took on the Robert Morris Colonials (4-15-2, 4-8-1 Atlantic Hockey America) Friday night at Tate Rink.
The Black Knights fought tenaciously against the Colonials and earned their first overtime win of the season with a 3-2 victory on Friday night.
Army sent JJ Cataldo between the pipes where he collected 31 saves against RMU's 33 shots on goal.
The Colonials' Croix Kochendorfer hit the ice against the Black Knights, tallying 30 saves against Army's 33 shots on goal.
The Black Knights returned to their home ice eager to capitalize on their 5-0 shutout win over Mercyhurst from the previous Saturday.
The two teams battled for control of the puck for the opening minutes of play as the visiting team dominated the shots on goal totals early in the action, but the Black Knights struck first for the tenth game this season.
After Army picked up the puck in the neutral zone, Barron Woodring collected the puck off the boards and fired it over to Jude Brower who ripped a quick shot past Kochendorfer to put Army ahead at a 1-0 lead with 11:41 expired off the game clock.
Robert Morris sought to even the score, expanding to a 12-5 shots-on-goal advantage before the clock hit zero.
The Colonials brought the battle back to the Black Knights in the second period, tying the score and taking a 2-1 lead with a pair of scramble-play goals just over three minutes apart in the middle of the period.
With the tension rising in Tate Rink, the Black Knights drew tied with the Colonials just five seconds after the 12-minute mark as Billy Batten buried a backhanded shot in the back of the net after a centering pass from Barron Woodring to earn his third goal of the season.
Despite a flurry of chances for both teams, the score held tied at two each and the game moved into overtime.
Army set a burning pace in the overtime period as they fought for a win in front of a home crowd and their aggression paid off as Brent Keefer and Nik Hong combined on a rush to bury the puck in the back of the net and seal Army's first overtime win of the season.
The Black Knights dominated the overtime period with five shots on goal to Robert Morris' one to secure their ninth win of the season.
