HARTFORD, CT. – Facing a season-high 61 shots on goal, senior goaltender Marc Smith finished with 59 saves in net for the Wesleyan men's hockey team, setting a new regulation saves record, as they were shut out 2-0 by No. 6 Trinity College on Saturday afternoon in the final game of the season, from Trinity's Albert Creighton Williams Rink.

Tonight's 59 saves are a new program record for the Hanover, Mass., native, for the most saves in regulation by a single goaltender as he held down the final line for the Cardinals on a season-high 61 shots on goal from the Bantams. Smith previously held the regulation saves record of 49 saves, set on Dec. 2, in a 2-0 loss to Hamilton, where he faced 51 shots on goal. Tim Sestak '20 holds the program record of 65 saves in a single game, but the March 2019 matchup against Amherst ended in triple overtime.

The Cardinals came away with a season-high 27 blocks, the defense combing for 14 of those blocks while DJ Dixon '24 led the way with five blocks on his own.

With the Cardinals called for a high-sticking minor, the Bantams (20-3-1 overall, 16-1-1 NESCAC) broke open the scoring on the power play with a goal from John Campomenosi at 9:37 of the first period. Facing 23 shots, the first 20 minutes of action were Smith's busiest.

The final goal of the game for the Bantams came at 8:41 in the final period, with Devan Tongue finding the back of the net.

From the faceoff, Dixon won 17 draws, his second-highest win total of the season.

At the opposite end of the ice, Devon Bobek made 16 saves for the Bantams.
