Matt Amante tallied twice, including the game-winner

When and Where: November 11, 2022 – The Ice Den (Hooksett, N.H.)
Score:  Southern New Hampshire University 4, Post University 3
Records: SNHU 2-3 (2-2 NE10), Post 1-2 (1-2 NE10)

Junior Matt Amante (West Hempstead, N.Y.) scored twice, including the game-winner mid-way through the third period as SNHU hockey topped Post University 4-3 in an NE10 game Friday night at The Ice Den.  Graduate student Adam Mercer (Belchertown, Mass.) stopped 38 shots in the win.


STANDOUT PERFORMERS KEY MOMENTS
 
  • It took the Eagles just 1:19 to get on the board as Nick Weber scored the first of his two goals with a deep shot after taking a pass from Nick Brewer.
  • With just 17 seconds remaining in the first period, the Penmen tied the game on a goal by Smith off a pass from senior James Nash (Hampton, N.H.).  Amante started the play deep in the Eagle zone.
  • Post moved back in front on a Weber power-play at 9:38 of the second period, and the Eagles kept the lead through an SNHU 5-3 man advantage.
  • The Penmen tied the game at 19:09 of the second when Lynch stole the puck in the Post zone, and whipped a pass over to Amante, who finished off the goal with a spin move, and shot into the far corner of the net.
  • SNHU moved in front for the first time at 2:41 of the third.  Thurston deflected a shot by junior Derek Flynn (Dracut, Mass.) in for a 3-2 lead.  It was his third goal, and third on the power-play this season.  Freshman Ryan Pomposelli (Needham, Mass.) also assisted on the goal.
  • After Conner Murray tied the game with a man-up goal at 7:43, Amante tallied the game-winner at 10:09 on a perfect feed from the left side by Lynch.
