BOX SCORE

BOSTON, Mass. --  Sophomore Zeke Testa (Wellesley, Mass.) stopped 30 of 31 shots in goal to lead Babson to a 3-1 non-league college ice hockey victory over Suffolk Tuesday afternoon at Walter Brown Arena.

The visiting Beavers (6-6) erased a one-goal deficit by scoring three times in less than five minutes midway through the second period. After sophomore Andrew Flynn (Stamford, Conn.) had given the host Rams (4-8) a 1-0 lead 6:53 into the middle frame on feeds from senior Tom Coulstring (Whitman, Mass.) and freshman Joe Martignetti (Winchester, Mass.), sophomore Ryan Smith (Lynnfield, Mass.) evened matters for Babson at the 12:21 mark on assists from junior Dan Ahern (Melrose, Mass.) and freshman Matt Furey (Quincy, Mass.).  Senior captain Jason Schneider (Littleton, Mass.) gave the visitors the lead for good just 2:45 later by converting feeds from senior captain Terry Woods (Duxbury, Mass.) and junior Sean Roche (Franklin, Mass.), and junior Mike Hoban's (Medfield, Mass.) power play tally less than two minutes later on helpers from junior Cody Carlson (Peterborough, N.H.) and sophomore PT Donato (Arlington, Mass.) closed out the scoring for the contest.

Testa made 12 of his saves in the second period in collecting his third win of the season in goal for Babson, while senior Jeff Rose (Collinsville, Conn.) made 31 stops in net in the setback for Suffolk as the Beavers outshot the Rams by a 34-31 margin for the afternoon.
