MILTON, Mass. -- Curry College scored three unanswered goals in the first two periods of play en route to a 5-1 victory over visiting Babson College in a non-conference ice hockey tilt on Tuesday night. With the win, the Colonels are now 8-7-1 overall, while the Beavers fall to 8-8- 1.

Curry grabbed a 1-0 lead at 13:48 of the first, as Ray Nicks netted his third goal of the season off an assist from Brett Kaneshiro. The Colonels then added two more in the second, as Ryan Warsofsky tallied his fourth of the year on a powerplay at 15:09 and Ian Delong followed with his second of the campaign at 17:36.

The Beavers final broke through against Curry goalie Travis Owens in the opening minutes of the third, as freshman defenseman Matt Furey scored his second goal of the season at 4:15. However, the Colonels came right back with a goal at 6:15, as Warsofsky potted his second of the game and fifth of the season to push the host's lead back to three at 4-1.
