NOTES
  • Watson led the Penmen offensively, netting two goals to account for half of SNHU's scoring on the night.   His six goals lead the Penmen this season.
  • With SNHU down 3-1, freshman Gabe Fisher (Granger, Ind.) found the net off a perfect feed from sophomore Dillon Phillips (Raleigh, N.C.).
  • Watson, who had tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, scored just 20 seconds after the Fisher goal to make it 3-3.
  • The other goal for the Penmen came with 3:25 to play on an unassisted goal by sophomore Ryan Kayser (Highlands Ranch, Colo.).
  • Senior Jim Minnig (Auburn, Pa.) and senior Brendan Lynch (Nepean, Ont.) each had two assists.
  • SNHU generated 41 shots on goal, including 18 in the third period.
  • The Penmen were held scoreless on the power play (0-3), while Connecticut College converted twice with the man advantage in the second period (2-4).
  • Ryan McKenna had a goal and two assists for Connecticut College.
  • This was the second time in the past three seasons SNHU has competed in the Boston Landing Collegiate Invitational.
  • It was the fifth all-time meeting with the Camels and the first since 2004.  Connecticut College, which plays in the NESCAC, leads the Penmen 3-2 in the all-time series.
