Penmen Reach Break With Two Wins In Last Three Contests

When and Where: December 10, 2025 – Fall River, Mass. (Driscoll Arena)
Score: Southern New Hampshire University 6, Roger Williams University 3
Records: SNHU 4-6-1, Roger Williams 3-8-0

Senior forward Ryan Pomposelli (Needham, Mass.) scored two goals and added an assist, and freshman Aidan Rufa (Massena, N.Y.) also added a pair of goals as Southern New Hampshire ice hockey reached the break with a 6-3 win over Roger Williams University Wednesday night in Fall River, Mass.

KEY MOMENT

After entering the third period tied 2–2, the Penmen seized control with a pair of quick goals by Pomposelli.  The first came at 2:43 from freshman Kenny Thurston (Plymouth, Mass.) and sophomore Adam Boucher (Uniontown, Pa.).   Pomposelli added a power-play goal at 6:32, and Rufa's second goal of the game, also on a power-play, extended the margin to 5-2.

NOTES
  • Freshman goaltender Trent Boryszczuk (Novi, Mich.) earned the win in his first collegiate start, making 26 saves.  He also recorded an assist on Pomposelli's second goal.
  • Senior Brendan Lynch (Nepean, Ont.) tied the game late in the first period with his third goal of the season, converting a break-away from Pomposelli as SNHU was finishing a penalty kill.
  • Rufa's first goal, his first career goal, came in a man-up situation at 15:34 of the second period, and tied the game at 2-2 after the Hawks had moved in front for a second time.
  • Freshman Zach Vickerman (Queensville, Ontario) notched the first goal of his career, an empty netter, late in the third period off a pass from freshman Jory Veenstra (Kansas City, Mo.)
  • The Penmen scored six goals in a game for the first time since 1/20/24 against Post University, a 6-1 win.
  • SNHU and Roger Williams met for the eighth time, but the first since 2/20/1980.  SNHU leads all-time 7-1, with the only coming in the first meeting in 1977.
