Box Score

DURHAM, NH –  Kevin Goumas scored 31 seconds into overtime to help New Hampshire earn a 2-1 win over No. 11/11 Union (2-1-3, 0-0-0 ECAC Hockey) in front of 4,972 fans at Whittemore Center Arena.

Union outshot New Hampshire 38-23 for the contest and held the Wildcats scoreless in five chances on the power play. The Dutchmen owned a 13-6 shot advantage in the third period and had the first scoring chance in overtime.

Just ten seconds into the extra frame, sophomore forward Kevin Sullivan had his rebound shot batted away by the UNH defense, and the Wildcats went the other way for the game-winning score.

Sophomore goaltender Troy Grosenick (2-1-2) stopped 21 shots, while UNH goaltender Kevin Di Girolamo made 37 saves for UNH's first win of the season.

Sophomore defenseman Mat Bodie scored at 9:39 of the third period to tie the game at 1-1. Bodie chipped the puck into the UNH zone off the end boards to himself and beat Di Girolamo over the shoulder to even the score.

Union's penalty kill kept New Hampshire off the scoreboard early on in the contest.

At the end of the first period, the Dutchmen killed off 2:11 seconds of power play time, including 26 seconds of a 5-on-3 to keep the game scoreless.  Grosenick's best stop on the penalty kill came with just under three minutes to play, when he slid to make a kick save on UNH defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk.

Earlier in the period, Grosenick came up with another great stop, stopping Dalton Speelman's shot from slot with his shoulder at the 10:59 mark.

After killing off another penalty in the second period, the Dutchmen were unable to clear the puck from their own end. New Hampshire's John Henrion gathered the puck in the corner, skated out in front and slipped a backhand shot past Grosenick to give UNH a 1-0 lead at 4:04.

UNH's Di Girolamo came up with two big stops late in the second period to keep Union from tying the score.  Junior defenseman Greg Coburn skated towards the slot unmarked and fired a one-timer into the body of Di Girolamo at the 18:15 mark. Just 30 seconds later, freshman forward Trevor Mingoia's open look from the circle was kicked out away from traffic.

The Dutchmen will take on American International College tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. at Messa Rink, as Union will raise two banners (Cleary Cup, NCAA Tournament) to honor the accomplishments of the 2010-11 team.
