HOOKSETT, N.H. - Host Southern New
Hampshire University got goals from eight different scorers as it
topped Assumption College 8-5 in Northeast-10 ice hockey at The Ice
Den Thursday night. The Penmen, who were playing their home

from Lodge at the 4:43 mark to make it 6-3, but Pat O'Kane's
short-handed tally at 6:10 and Marc Labb's power play goal at 8:46
