Box Score

BOSTON, Mass.--  Senior Kyle Cook (Chino Hills, Calif.) netted a goal and three assists, while sophomore Jeff Rose (Collinsville, Conn.) stopped all 29 shots he faced for his third career shutout to lead Suffolk to a 4-0 ECAC Northeast ice hockey victory over Fitchburg State Saturday evening at Walter Brown Arena.

Cook gave the host Rams (6-13-2, 5-6-2 ECAC Northeast) the only goal they would need 4:11 into the second stanza on feeds from Welch and freshman J. Andrew Wein (Barnegat, N.J.), and senior Dan Pencinger (Randolph, N.J.) extended that margin to 2-0 with 7:19 remaining in the contest on assists from Cook and junior Pat Welch (Dorchester, Mass.).  Welch provided an insurance marker with four minutes to play on helpers from Pencinger and Cook, and senior Mitch Sabo (Bell Canyon, Calif.) closed out the Suffolk scoring with a power play tally on feeds from Cook and senior Bill Galvin (Canton, Mass.) with 1:13 remaining.

Rose made nearly half of his stops with a 14-save effort in the second period for the Rams, as he posted a pair of blankings last season in a January 2008 win at Framingham State (8-0) and a February 2008 triumph over Southern New Hampshire (4-0).  Freshman Bobby Leiser (Monroe, N.Y.) made 19 stops in net in the setback for the visiting Falcons (8-8-5, 5-5-3 ECAC Northeast), as Fitchburg State outshot Suffolk by a 29-23 margin for the contest.

Suffolk heads to Waterville Valley, N.H. on Wednesday evening to take on Plymouth State in an ECAC Northeast match-up that faces off at 6:00 p.m., while Fitchburg State hosts Johnson & Wales in an ECAC Northeast outing on Wednesday evening in Fitchburg, Mass. that begins at 7:00 p.m
