Allan Pruss (JR/Red Deer, Alberta) scored twice and Phoenix McElroy-Scott (SR/Morden, Manitoba) also had a goal as the University of Jamestown hockey team won its third straight game, 3-2 over the University of Colorado Thursday night at Wilson Arena.

Pruss put the Jimmies on the scoreboard at 14:09 of the first on assists by Michael Pruss (JR/Red Deer, Alberta) and Kyle Baron (JR/Abbotsford, British Columbia).

Baron would set up Pruss again at 3:39 of the second, breaking a 1-1 tie. It was the second two-goal game for Pruss this season, and his fourth goal in his last four contests.

The lead grew to 3-1 as McElroy-Scott scored on assists by Cayle Bell (JR/Fort St. John, British Columbia) and Ned Simpson (JR/Kitchener, Ontario). The goal was McElroy-Scott’s third of the season.
