CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Sophomore Jordan Karp (Roslyn Heights, NY) scored 7:48 into the third period to break a 3-3 tie and help the Tufts Jumbos to a 5-3 victory over Johnson & Wales University in ECAC Northeast Division hockey action on Saturday afternoon. The victory lifted Tufts to 5-0 in the league and 7-4 overall.

Tufts led 2-0 in the first period on goals by senior captain Drew Carleton (Shaker Heights, OH) and junior Scott Hayes (Medfield, MA), but the visitors stormed back with three unanswered goals to lead 3-2 with 2:05 remaining in the second period. Freshman Scott Graham (Westminster, CO) had two goals and an assist to help give the Wildcats the lead. The Jumbos answered quickly, as senior Scott Sullivan's (Tewksbury, MA) powerplay goal tied the game at 3-3 with only 10 seconds left in the middle period. Karp scored the eventual game-winner and then freshman Rob LaQuaglia (Medford, MA) added an empty net goal with 29 seconds left in regulation to seal the win for the Jumbos.

Sophomore Ian Kell (St. Paul, MN) made 20 saves in the Tufts net to run his ECAC Northeast record to 4-0 and lower his league goals against average to 3.25. Johnson & Wales junior Scott Jacob (Milford, CT) made 33 saves before he was pulled for an extra man. The Wildcats (7-8, 3-3) dropped their second straight.
