DENVER, COLO. -- The eighth-ranked Providence College Friars and the University of Denver Pioneers skated to a 3-3 tie, in college hockey action, on Saturday, November 25 at Magness Arena in Denver, Colo.

The Friars took a 1-0 lead at 8:36 of the first period, when Mike Robinson beat Pioneer netminder Wade Dublielewicz with a slap shot from the right face-off circle.. Cody Loughlean assisted on Robinson's first collegiate goal. Less than 30 seconds later, the Pioneers tied the game, 1-1. Denver defenseman Bryan Vines took a shot from the blue line that deflected off a Providence defender, past PC netminder Boyd Ballard, for the Pioneer's first goal. At the 15:05 mark, Denver took a 2-1 lead on a Bjorn Engstrom goal. Denver's Judd Stauss made perfect pass to Engstrom at the blue line, who then broke in one-on-one with Ballard and beat him with a low wrist shot, giving the Pioneers a 2-1 lead.

Providence tied the game at the 16:40 mark of the second on a Matt Libby power-play goal. Libby fired a shot from the point that was blocked by a Denver defenseman. Libby gathered the puck and fired a second shot that slipped past Dublielewicz, Adam Lee and Marc Suderman assisted on the play.

Stephen Wood gave the Friars a 3-2 lead at 12:58 of the third. Robinson won a face-off in the Friars' zone, Wood collected the puck, wrapped-around the net and stuffed the puck past Dublielewicz, for his first collegiate goal. Less than two-minutes later, Denver tied the game, 3-3. Greg Barber one-timed a Greg Keith feed and beat Ballard high on the glove-side. Garber's goal proved to be the game-tying goal as neither team was able to produce much offense in the extra period.

With the tie, Providence record stands at 7-2-3 overall, while Denver is now to 4-7-1.
