When and Where: January 20, 2023 – Sports Center of Connecticut  (Shelton, CT)
Score:  Post University 6, Southern New Hampshire University 5 (OT)
Records: SNHU 5-13-0 (4-9-0 NE10), Post 5-13-0 (3-8-0 NE10)

Junior Jackson Aldrich (Waterville, Maine) tied the game with his first goal of the season, but SNHU fell 6-5 in overtime at Post University Friday in Shelton, Conn.    

STANDOUT PERFORMERS KEY MOMENTS
 
  • The Penmen fell into a big hole early with the host Eagles scoring three times in the first period for a 3-0 lead.  Michael Gethings opened the scoring at 8:37.  Nick Weber added goals for Post at 14:22 and 18:28.  
  • Coady scored off a rebound of a shot by Thurston (Plymouth, Mass.) at 12:35 of the second period to put the Penmen on the board and start the comeback.  Sophomore Connor Ball (Webster, N.Y.) also assisted in the play.
  • A power-play goal by Nick Brewer made it 4-1 Eagles, but SNHU responded with a pair of quick goals to cut the deficit to 4-3.
  • Coady's second goal, at 15:23, came off a feed from freshman Ryan Pomposelli (Needham, Mass.) with Thurston adding an assist.
  • The Penmen drew within a goal at 18:11 when freshman Joe Cantelmo (Saratoga, Calif.) connected on the power-play from junior Derek Flynn (Dracut, Mass.)  and freshman Brendan Lynch (Nepean, Ont.). 
  • SNHU took advantage of a five-minute power play to tie the game 2:58 of the third period when senior Matt Monreal (Wauwatosa, Wis.) ripped a slap shot home.  Sophomore Tucker Twardosky (Merrimack, N.H.) dished out the pass that led to the goal. 
  • Post collected its fourth power-play goal of the night at 12:40 when Lukas Baksay beat sophomore goalie Cam Bernard (Bedford, N.H.) for a 5-4 lead.
  • Aldrich tied the game at 5-5, the beneficiary of good work by senior Andrew Ray (Cumberland, Maine) to work the puck into the Eagle zone with just 5:02 remaining.
  • Weber completed his hat trick off a rebound at 3:13 of the extra period to give Post the win.
