DURHAM, N.H. -- Union College completed a non-conferrence sweep of New Hampshire with a 3-1 victory Saturday night before 4,837 spectators at the Whittemore Center.  The sixth-ranked Dutchmen (15-4-3) are now 9-1-2 on the road this season and own a 7-1-1 record against ranked opponents.

Max Novak broke a 1-1 tie in the second period with his game-winning goal at 16:07, tapping in a centering pass from Daniel Ciampini.  Defenseman Mat Bodie provided an insurance goal with an empty-netter tallied with 1:03 left in regulation.  Bodie launched a shot from 183 feet away that banked off the left post and crossed the goal line.

Union opened scoring with a nifty goal from Mark Bennett at 15:05 of the first period. Angling towards the net, Bennett managed to tuck a shot between his legs on a pass from Cole Ikkala along the goal line.  It was Bennett's first goal since Oct. 25.

UNH (13-12-1) responded seconds after losing Hobey Baker candidate Trevor van Riemsdyk to an injury. Tyler Kelleher broke down the right boards and snapped a wrister over the shoulder of goaltender Colin Stevens at 17:26 of the first period.

Stevens finished with a career-high 40 saves to improve his season record to 12-2-1.

"Colin Stevens was excellent in both games this weekend, he might have been the difference," said coach Rick Bennett.  "Not a lot of teams find a way to win in this building, and to win not one but two is a real accomplishment.  The coaching staff is really proud of the team's effort."

The Dutchmen return to ECAC Hockey action next Friday (Jan. 24), hosting Harvard at Messa Rink.
