Vickerman Scores in SNHU Ice Hockey's 2-1 Loss to Franklin Pierce

Ravens score twice in opening period to take Northeast 10 opener

When and Where: November 6, 2026 – Hooksett, N.H. (The Ice Den Arena)
Score: Franklin Pierce University 2, Southern New Hampshire University 1
Records: SNHU 1-1-0 (0-1-0 NE10), Franklin Pierce 3-1-0 (1-0-0 NE10)

Sophomore Zach Vickerman (Queensville, Ontario) scored a first-period power-play goal, but the Southern New Hampshire University ice hockey team fell to Franklin Pierce University, 2-1, in its home and Northeast 10 opener on Friday night at The Ice Den Arena.

Franklin Pierce's Colden Lawrence scored twice in the opening 11 minutes, and goaltender Troy Huber made 23 saves as the Ravens held off the Penmen. Senior Sean Guerin (Chicago, Ill.) stopped 24 shots for SNHU.

KEY MOMENT

Trailing 2-0, the Penmen cut the deficit in half when Vickerman scored on the power play at 14:48 of the first period. Freshman Nolan Nemecek (Hudsonville, Mich.) and senior captain Coleman Nee (Arlington, Mass.) assisted on the goal. SNHU kept the game within reach by killing off a two-man advantage for the Ravens midway through the second period, but could not find the equalizer.

NOTES

  • Lawrence gave Franklin Pierce the lead just seven seconds into the contest, then scored again at 10:46 of the opening period. He was named the game's first star.
  • Vickerman's goal was his first of the season, while Nemecek recorded his first collegiate point with the assist.
  • SNHU successfully killed all four Franklin Pierce power-play opportunities, including 1:14 of a five-on-three disadvantage in the second period.
  • The Penmen went 1-for-2 on the power play.
  • SNHU outshot Franklin Pierce 8-2 in the third period, with sophomore Kenny Thurston (Plymouth, Mass.) hitting the post with 4:52 remaining.
  • Guerin made 13 of his 24 saves in the second period. Franklin Pierce finished with a 26-24 edge in shots.
  • Nee won 18 faceoffs, while freshman Ethan McLean (St. John, New Brunswick) won 12 of 17 and Thurston won 12 of 18. SNHU held a 47-35 advantage in faceoffs.
  • The Penmen lead the all-time series with Franklin Pierce, 43-22-8, although the Ravens have won four of the last five meetings. Franklin Pierce won three of the four matchups last season.
