How It Happened
Stonehill came out strong, outshooting UMass 20-7 over the first 16 minutes of action. However, the Minutemen struck first at the 17:17 mark of the opening frame, capitalizing on a power play as Nestrašil netted the first of his three goals on the night.
The Skyhawks carried momentum into the second period after drawing a penalty late in the first. Although UMass successfully killed off the early power play, Stonehill continued to apply pressure. Renfrew forced a turnover in the offensive zone and found a wide-open Lagerbäck in front, who buried a shot past Hrabel just 2:10 into the period to even the score at 1-1.
UMass responded with three unanswered goals — two more from Nestrašil and one from DeAngelo — to build a commanding 4-1 advantage heading into the final frame. Despite outshooting the Minutemen once again in the third period, Stonehill couldn't cut into the deficit, falling 4-1 to the No. 14 nationally ranked UMass Minutemen.
