HARFTFORD, Conn. – The Union College men's hockey team (1-1-1, 0-0-0 ECACH) fell 4-1 Friday night to #20 University of Connecticut at the XL Center.

Both teams combined for a total of five penalties in the opening frame. Ryan Tverberg took the puck up the ice and attempted a wraparound shot from behind the net that bounched off of Murphy's right pad.

Union was quick to respond with a goal 1:33 later. Young intercepted a pass going up the wall and sent a one-timer from the blue line that beat Logan Terness. UConn extended the lead back to two goals after Jake Percival intercepted a pass up the middle and found the back of the net.

Trailing 3-1 going into the third period, Chauvette entered the game as Union was going on the penalty kill, making a few big stops right away to keep it a two-goal game. With 3:07 remaining, Union called their timeout and pulled Chauvette for the extra attacker. Chase Bradley added the empty-netter with 1:44 remaining to make it a 4-1 win for the Huskies.
