When and Where: February 16, 2022 - Easton, Mass. (Bridgewater Ice Arena)

Records: SNHU 15-6 (13-3 NE10), Stonehill 5-15-2 (2-9-2 NE10)
(Easton, Mass.)  --- Junior Ryan Coady (Braintree, Mass.) scored in overtime to give SNHU a 4-3 win at Stonehill College.  The Penmen clinched the Northeast-10 regular season title for the first time in 16 years.  Senior Phil Heisse (Overland Park, Kan.) added a goal and assist on Wednesday afternoon at the Bridgewater Ice Arena.

  • Freshman Ethan Rodriguez (Sioux City, Iowa) - goal
KEY MOMENTS

  • Heisse tied the score at 17:41 of the first period with his third goal of the season less than a minute after Stonehill had scored.
  • Quigley put the Penmen in front 2-1 at 8:38 of the second period who took a pass from Heisse, and scored on a breakaway.
  • Stonehill took the lead with just under six minutes to play on the second goal of the game by John Peloso.
  • Rodriguez tied it for the Penmen just 22 seconds later, and the teams played even for the rest of regulation.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • SNHU outshot Stonehill for the game 46-30, including 14-5 in the third period, and 4-0 in the overtime 3-on-3 session.
  • The only penalty of the game, on SNHU freshman Jack Gray (Lowell, Mass.) for hooking at 12:19 of the second period, did not result in a goal.  
  • Senior Adam Mercer (Belchertown, Mass.) started in net for the third consecutive contest, and improves to 11-2 on the season.  He made 27 saves.
