  • SNHU extended the lead to 3-1 on the power play at 7:00 of the second, when senior Brendan Lynch (Nepean, Ontario) scored his eighth goal of the season with freshman Kenny Thurston (Plymouth, Mass.) earning the assist.
  • Assumption answered later in the frame and then struck twice in the third period to take a 4-3 advantage.
  • The Penmen forced overtime at 12:20 of the third when Pomposelli converted a power-play opportunity, assisted by sophomore Ryan Kayser (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) and Lynch.
  • Junior goaltender Collin Berke (Crofton, Md.) made 39 saves in the loss.
  • Assumption held a 44-35 edge in shots on goal.
  • SNHU finished 2-for-4 on the power play, while the Greyhounds went 2-for-6.
