That spark was evident on a power play that twice made Soucy look like the sieve Catamount fans wished Tracy to be. Soucy's bad misplay of a wide point shot was converted into an open-net tuck-in off of the back boards by sophomore Steve Martins; the goal at 11:30 of the first gave the Crimson a 2-1 lead...
