Bowdoin          9
UNE               3 
FINAL   Box Score 

1st Period: Max Fenkell gets the call in between the pipes for the Polar Bears. Jay Livermore (D, '14), Kyle Lockwood (D/F, '14) and Ollie Koo (D/F, '14) are not dressed for the Panthers. Jared Melman (F, '15) puts the Nor'easters up 1-0 just 24 seconds in. Bowdoin responds at 6:10 when Chris Fenwick (F, '16) put a wrister just under the crossbar from the top of the circle, assist to Brendan Conroy (D, '17). The Polar Bears take the first lead of the game on the power play at 16:27 when Alec Root (D, '15), playing in just his second game of the season, scores on assists from John McGinnis (F, '15) and Colin Downey (F/D, '14).

2nd Period: Connor Quinn (F, '15) scores unassisted for Bowdoin just 24 seconds into the period. UNE answers back in rapid succession with two goals at 5:43 and 5:52 by Zeth Zielinkski (F, '15)  and Sam Vikich (F, '16). Zielinski's goal was essential an own goal, as a puck in the air off Alec Root's (D, '15) chest. Tim Coffey (F, '15) scores a short handed goal off a blocked shot to put the Polar Bears up 4-3.

3rd Period: Fenkell doesn't come back out for third after talking to the trainer twice during the second period. Steve Messina (G, '14) takes his place in net. The wheels come off this one as Bowdoin scores five power play goals in the third, including three goals on the same five minute major. Coffey gets a hat-trick, Bowdoin coach Terry Meagher gets his 500th career coaching win, becoming only the sixth D-III men's ice hockey coach to do so.

Becker            6
Tufts                4
FINAL  Box Score 

1st Period: Ryan Kellenberger in goal for Tufts once again. The Jumbos jump out to an early lead on  Kyle Gallegos (F, '14)'s third career goal against Becker.  The Hawks tie it up at the 15:44 mark on a Gerald Owen (F, '16) goal.

2nd Period: Sloppy period in which Tufts gets bitten by the penalty bug. The Jumbos first take the lead on Pat Lackey (F, '17)'s first collegiate goal. Becker then goes on a four goal tear the rest of the period, including two goals for Alexandre Breese (F, '17) to go up 5-2 at teh end of two. George Pantazopoulos (F, '15) had a good chance in the final twenty seconds when he took it down the left wing. He fired a shot in on goal that was saved, but the goalie did not know where it was as it lay on the crease, only for a Becker player to clear it. Shots even 16-16 for the period.

3rd Period: Tufts goes on the power play 4:23 into the final frame. The Jumbos power play isn't working very efficiently so Gallegos decides to take it coast-to-coast for the Jumbos third goal. Later on the third Tufts power play of the period, Stewart Bell (F, '16) scores to cut it to 5-4. Unfortunately do to some problems with the webcast, not sure what happened. The webcast cuts in and out, but the audio stays consistent enough to hear the shrill sounds of some enthusiastic fans. When the video cuts back in with about two minutes remaining, Lackey finds himself one-on-one with the Becker goalie, who makes a sprawling save to keep it a one goal game. Kellenberger heads to the bench with about a minute remaining for the extra skate and Breese gets the hat-trick on the empty netter. Tufts outshoots Becker 14-9 for the period and 42-35 for the game.

Wesleyan      5
Stonehill        3
FINAL  Box Score 

1st Period: Nolan Daley (G, '16) in net for the Cardinals while former Wesleyan player Nik Tasiopoulos' brother Chris Tasiopoulos (G, '15) is in net for Stonehill. Connor Ryan (F, '15) puts Wesleyan up at the 17:05 mark. The Cardinals dominate play in the first, outshooting the Skyhawks 15-5.

2nd Period:  The Cardinals outshoot the Skyhawks 11-7 but Stonehill ties the game at 9:21 on a Bryan Rooney (F, '14) goal.

3rd Period: Depaolo puts Stonehill up early in the period, but the Cardinals Tommy Hartnett (F, '14) responds to tie it. The Cardinals then score three goals (Vorel, Taenaka, Buehler) in five minutes to take the lead for good. Stonehill scores a late goal to help the cosmetics of the loss. Elliot Vorel (F, '17) now has 12 points (6-6-12) in his first five college games with at least one point in each game.
