CLINTON, N.Y. – Hamilton College's Charlie Archer '25 made 32 saves and the Continentals posted a 4-0 win against the Trine University Thunder inside Clinton Arena on Saturday, Dec. 30. 
 
Season Update
  • Hamilton (8-2 overall) received votes in the most recent USCHO.com Division III Top 15 poll. The Continentals defeated Trine by the same score at SUNY Canton on Nov. 26 and were edged 4-3 in overtime by the Thunder on Friday night.

How It Happened
  • Hamilton found the back of the net with 2:27 left in the opening frame. James Philpott '25 took a shot from near the blue line and after a scramble in front, Luke Tchor '27 slipped the puck past Kyle Kozma for a 1-0 advantage.   
  • The Continentals doubled their lead midway through the second period. Max Bulawka '26 gained control of a bounding puck at the top of Hamilton's defensive zone, skated to center ice and passed to Justin Biraben '27. The rookie fired a shot from the left faceoff circle and Bulawka deflected the puck into the right corner of the net. 
  • Hamilton extended its lead less than seven minutes later. Grisha Gotovets '25 tipped a no-look deflection of a shot by William Neault '25 up and over Kozma's shoulder with 3:22 to go in the second.
