HAMILTON, N.Y. - Tommy Phelan made 13 saves in his first start and Navy's defense held Colgate scoreless for nearly 54 minutes en route to an 8-3 win over the Raiders yesterday.

Phelan, who played the final minutes of Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Bucknell, was inserted into the starting lineup after net minder Matt Coughlin suffered a leg injury in the fourth quarter of the Bucknell contest.

Navy's starting attack accounted for five of the Mids' eight goals, including a hat trick by senior Nick Mirabito. Tim Paul, who had the game-winner for the Mids (8-1, 5-0 Patriot League) against Bucknell, ended the game with a pair of goals and an assist.

Colgate (4-4, 1-1) got on the scoreboard first at 9:16, but Navy countered wiith an 8-0 run three minutes later.

Colgate scored twice in the final 54 seconds.
