CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (November 4, 2025) – The Stonehill College men's hockey team fell on the road to Harvard University, 6-2, Tuesday night at the Brighton-Landry Hockey Center. With the result, the Skyhawks dropped to 1-8 overall, while the Crimson improved to 1-0-1 on the young season.
 
Highlights

• Junior Matthew Romer scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season, while sophomore Billy Renfrew netted his first as a Skyhawk.
• Graduate student Evan Orr and junior Brady Hunter recorded their fifth and first assists of the season, respectively.
• Graduate goaltender Connor Androlewicz made 23 saves in net for the Skyhawks.
• Mick Thompson led Harvard with three points on a goal and two assists, while Philip Tresca and Drake Murray each registered two-point nights.
• Ben Charette earned the win in goal for the Crimson, stopping 34 of 36 shots faced.

 
How It Happened
Harvard wasted no time establishing control, netting three goals in the opening period from Ben MacDonald (2:05), Marek Hejduk (9:55), and Tresca (12:19) to take a commanding lead through 20 minutes. Stonehill generated its first power-play opportunity with 2:28 remaining in the frame and maintained strong offensive zone pressure to the horn, but Charette and the Crimson defense turned aside all Skyhawk attempts to cut into the deficit.

An early Harvard tally to start the second period extended the margin, but Stonehill regained momentum following that late first-period power play, outshooting the Crimson 19-4 in the middle frame and cutting the four-goal gap in half by intermission. At 4:34, Orr forced a neutral-zone turnover and chipped the puck ahead to Hunter, who sent a cross-ice feed to Renfrew for his first goal of the season to get the Skyhawks on the board. In the closing seconds of the period, Romer capitalized on a net-front scramble, firing a shot from the boards for his fourth goal of the year and third in the last two games.

Despite narrowly outshooting Harvard again in the third and generating multiple quality scoring chances—including a point-blank look from sophomore Zachary Aben—the Skyhawks were unable to complete the comeback, eventually falling by a final score of 6-2.
