BOSTON, Mass.-- Freshman Michael O'Brien's (Royersford, Pa.) power play goal with 7:01 remaining snapped a 2-2 tie and propelled Wentworth to a 4-2 ECAC Northeast ice hockey victory over Stonehill Tuesday evening at Matthews Arena.
After a scoreless first period, the two teams battled to a 1-1 draw after 40 minutes of action before the host Leopards (9-7-3, 6-1-2 ECAC Northeast) took a 2-1 edge 2:59 into the final stanza on freshman Jeff Olitch's (Calgary, Alta.) second marker of the contest. The visiting Skyhawks (4-9, 3-7 ECAC Northeast) evened matters for the third time on the night on sophomore Frank Cavaliere's (Winthrop, Mass.) tally with 9:53 remaining, setting up O'Brien's heroics just 2:52 later. Sophomore Dave Lewandowski's (Glenmore, Pa.) empty-net power play goal with 42 seconds to play iced the triumph for Wentworth.
