Skyhawks Take Down Worcester State For Second Straight Win
Worcester, Mass. - The Skyhawks weren't rusty in their first game in over a month winning their second straight overall, and first in regulation as they defeated Worcester St. 6-5 on Saturday evening.
The Lancers got on the board first as Andrew Brady scored his second game of the season at the 9:33 mark for the one goal lead.

Stonehill wasted little time in grabbing the lead as Pete Roundy (Westford, Mass.) scored 30 seconds later to give the Skyhawks a 2-1 lead, one that they would take into the second period.
Just a minute and half into the second Worcester tied it up, this time on an unassisted goal by John Calahane. Stonehill grabbed the lead once again, as Brendan Connors (Lowell, Mass.) scored his first goal of the season at the 4:52 mark.
The Skyhawks extended their advantage to 4-2 two minutes later as senior Zachary Cantin (Walpole, Mass.) scored his first goal of the season, this on an assist from Jordan Fine (Walpole, Mass.).
The Lancers weren't finished and struck twice in a minute and half span midway through the period to tie the game at four.
James Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.) halted the Worcester run as he scored his team leading fourth goal of the season with assists from Brendan O'Brian (Braintree, Mass.) and freshman Bill Harris (Weymouth, Mass.) at the 15:29 mark.
O'Brien gave the Skyhawks a two lead for a second time, upping the score to 6-4 Stonehill eight minutes into the third period. The Lancers took nine shots in the period but were only able to come up with a single goal as Stonehill took the 6-5 win.
Freshman Derek Chapdelaine (Granby, Mass.) won his second straight game in goal for the Skyhawks stopping 27 shots for the win as Stonehill improved to 2-7 with the victory.
