Simon Labelle got things going just under four and a half minutes in.
Levi Glasman played the puck to
Reid Irwin, who passed back-and-forth with Labelle before the sophomore found a good look at the goal and fired a shot past the goalie.
LIU knotted the score at 1-1 at the 10:12 mark of the first with a power play goal from Austin Brimmer.
Alex DiPaolo then regained the lead for Colgate, scoring with 1:09 left in the first and just seven seconds into a man-up chance.
Ross Mitton passed down low to
Brett Chorske, who dished the puck across the ice to DiPaolo for a one-timer he slammed home.
The Sharks were the only team to score in the middle frame, with Josh Zary putting one in at the 16:45 mark to tie the game at 2-2.
Colgate had two other power play chances in the game, one in the second and one with just over a minute left in the third that carried over to the extra period, but it could not capitalize.
Carter Gylander made 31 saves in net for the Raiders.
