BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Daniel Ciampini scored with 1:43 left in regulation to lift Union to a 3-1 victory over Sacred Heart in the consolation game of the Frozen Holiday Classic at Webster Bank Arena.

Reminiscent of his last-second game-winner scored last year at Penn State, Ciampini used a series of dekes to weave through the Sacred Heart back line, tucking a shot inside the left post. Ryan Scarfo added an empty-netter – his second goal of the game as part of a three-point night – to seal the win.

Scarfo opened scoring by lifting a shot from the left circle at 9:00 of the first period.  Sacred Heart answered at 10:49 on Zach Luczyk's goal scored on a two-on-one rush.  Scarfo's busy night also included a penalty shot attempt, he was turned away by goaltender Andrew Bodnarchuk with 12:21 left in the third.  Scarfo earned a spot on the all-tournament team, along with Mike Vecchione.

Dutchmen goaltender Alex Sakellaropoulos won his second straight decision, having allowed just two goals in his last two starts. He finished with 21 saves.  Defenseman Charlie Vasaturo contributed with three blocks while adding two assists.

Union (10-7-1) travels to No.1-ranked Boston U. next Saturday.
