SCORE
NEW BEDFORD, MA- The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's hockey
team defeated visiting Babson, 5-3, in a non-conference game at the
Stephan Hetland Memorial Ice Arena Tuesday evening.
Junior forward Jason Stahl (Londonderry, NH/Valley Jr Warriors)
slammed home the game-winner at 17:43 of the third period off the
rebound from a left wing shot by junior forward Todd Bartelson
(Pepperell, MA/Valley Jr Warriors). Junior defenseman Mickey
Dudley (Douglas, MA/Boston Jr Bruins) also assisted on the deciding
goal.
Sophomore forward Giancarlo Capodanno (Mountainside, NJ/N.J.
Rockets) put the Corsairs on the board first as he slid one by
Babson sophomore goalie Andrew Peabody (Marblehead, MA/St
Paul's School) from the right wing at 8:52. The
Corsairs led at the first intermission, 1-0, despite being outshot
21-10 thanks in part to solid goaltending from senior goalie Jon
Dryjowicz-Burek (Ludlow, MA/Springfield Jr Falcons.
UMD came out firing to start the middle period and their
aggressiveness paid off as junior forward Billy Manning (Stoughton,
MA/Bridgewater Jr Bandits) stuffed home the rebound past the
Beavers' Peabody after a shot by senior forward Matt Serino
(Saugus, MA/Avon Old Farms) to push the lead to 2-0 just 28 seconds
into the second. Senior forward Matt Berard (Calgary,
AB/Berkshire School) also assisted on the goal.
The Corsairs took a 3-0 advantage at 3:49 of the final period
when senior forward Aaron Blades pumped one into an open net as
Peabody lay sprawled on the ice after making a save off a shot by
junior forward Joe Hill (Newburyport, MA/Valley Jr Warriors).
Capodanno collected an assist on the play as well.
The lead was short-lived as Babson answered back with three
goals in the span of over just four minutes. Senior
defenseman Ian Goodwin (Cooper City, FL/Canterbury
School) cut the lead to 3-1 at 9:02 as the Beavers
were finally able to put one past Dryjowicz-Burek. Less than
two minutes later, freshman forward Trevor Hines
(Newburyport, MA/Governor's Academy) made it 3-2, beating
Dryjowicz-Burek stick-side off a face off in the Corsairs'
end. Senior forward Corey Griffin (Hingham,
MA/Taft) assisted on the score. Babson would tie the
game at 13:10 when freshman forward Ryan Smith (Lynnfield,
MA/Boston Bulldogs) redirected a shot from just inside the
blue line by senior defenseman Liam Chatterton (Staten
Island, NY/St George's).
That set the scene for Stahl's heroics and Hill later added
an empty-netter with just 22 seconds to go in the contest assisted
by senior defenseman Paul Moran (Rockville Centre, NY/Boston Jr
Bulldogs).
Babson outshot UMD, 48-40. Dryjowicz-Burek made 45 saves
for the Corsairs, while Peabody stopped 35 shots for the Beavers.
