Men’s Hockey Falls to Wentworth in OT, 1-0

EAST BOSTON – For the second time in as many games Suffolk men's hockey needed extra time to decide a winner, however, the Rams came out on the wrong side of the overtime outcome this time as Wentworth won the Conference of New England contest, 1-0, Friday night at Louis E. Porrazzo Memorial Skating Rink.     

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 0 | Wentworth 1
RECORDS: Suffolk (1-1-0, 0-1-0 CNE) | Wentworth (2-1-0, 1-0-0 CNE)  

HOW IT HAPPENED
Suffolk may have the upperhand in shots in regulation, outshooting the Leopards, 36-22, but both netminders did their jobs to keep zeros on the scoreboard after 60 minutes.  

The Rams started the overtime period on the power play. WIT successfully skated off the 53 seconds of the penalty though to even the playing field. 

Alex Walicki dished ahead to George Kolovos who zoomed up the ice on a breakaway and lifted the puck over CJ Hapward's left shoulder to send WIT past Suffolk.

  • Hapward had 22 saves. 
  • Topher Chirico made 37 stops in the shutout.  

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING

  • The Rams went 0-for-6 on the power play and the Leopards were 0-for-3 on the man-up opportunities.
