BOSTON, Mass.-- Senior Jeff Chillson’s (Enfield, Conn.) goal with 1:28 remaining in regulation lifted Westfield State to a 2-2 ECAC Northeast ice hockey overtime tie with Suffolk Thursday evening at Streti Rink.

Chillson converted feeds from freshman A.J. Shiverdecker (Kettering, Ohio) and sophomore Dennis Zak (Dover, N.J.) on the tying tally for the visiting Owls (9-4-4, 6-3-3 ECAC Northeast), who rallied from an early two goal deficit. A power play marker off the stick of senior Mitch Sabo (Bell Canyon, Calif.) and an shorthanded goal from junior Mike Mondello (Revere, Mass.) in the first 17:43 of action gave the host Rams (3-10-2, 2-4-2 ECAC Northeast) the early two goal edge, but freshman Jimmy Alexander’s (Braintree, Mass.) power play goal with 32 seconds to play in the opening period sliced Westfield State’s deficit in half, setting up Chillson’s late heroics.

Juniors Casey Mignone (Ramsey, N.J.) and Mike Muolo (Stoneham, Mass.) assisted on Alexander’s goal for the Owls, while seniors Dan Pencinger (Randolph, N.J.) and Kyle Cook (Chino Hills, Calif.), junior Bryan Smusz (Daleville, Va.) and sophomore Zach Scienzo (Concord, N.H.) each notched helpers on the night for Suffolk.

Sophomore Ray Monroe (Shrewsbury, Mass.) made 31 saves, including three in overtime, on the evening for Westfield State, while sophomore Jeff Rose (Collinsville, Conn.) made 19 stops in net for Suffolk as the Rams outshot the Owls by a 33-21 margin for the contest.

Suffolk hosts Framingham State in an ECAC Northeast outing on Saturday evening at Walter Brown Arena beginning at 6:15 p.m., while Westfield State hosts Western New England in an ECAC Northeast match-up next Wednesday evening in Westfield, Mass. Beginning at 8:15 p.m.
