HOOKSETT, N.H. – Freshman goaltender Justin Sullivan (New Richmond, Quebec) made 21 saves to record a shutout in his collegiate debut Friday night, leading the Southern New Hampshire University ice hockey team to a 3-0 Northeast 10 victory over Post University at The Ice Den Arena.

KEY MOMENT

After a scoreless opening period in which SNHU held a 19-6 advantage in shots, Fisher broke the deadlock with an unassisted goal at 2:59 of the second period. The Penmen doubled their lead when senior captain Coleman Nee (Arlington, Mass.) scored on the power play at 13:43, and junior Darby McCarthy (Whitefish, Mont.) added an insurance goal at 18:16 to give SNHU a 3-0 lead heading into the final period.

NOTES

  • Sullivan stopped six shots in the first period, nine in the second and six in the third to complete the shutout in his first collegiate appearance.
  • Fisher's goal was his first of the season. He also assisted on Nee's power-play tally for his first career multi-point game.
  • Nee scored his team-leading third goal of the season, with sophomore Kenny Thurston (Plymouth, Mass.) and Fisher earning assists.
  • McCarthy's goal was his first of the season, assisted by senior Austin Hirschberger (Harwich, Mass.) and sophomore Jackson Smith (Calgary, Alberta).

  • Post goaltender Noah Caballero made 42 saves, including 19 in the opening period.
