HAMILTON, N.Y. -- The 11th-ranked Western Michigan hockey team scored six straight goals to erase a 5-0 deficit and defeat Colgate, 6-5, on the road on Friday night.
Junior defenseman Ronnie Attard scored his first collegiate hat trick, and only the second in National Collegiate Hockey Conference history by a defenseman, to lead the way. Junior forward Jason Polin had a career-high four points with two goals and two assists, while Paul Washe had the other goal for the Broncos (4-1-0).
Western Michigan was staring a 5-0 hole in the face with three minutes left in the second period when Polin finally got the team on the board with his second goal of the season with 2:37 left in the second.
