Hall of Fame
A 1990 graduate of Southeastern Massachusetts University, Scott Pearsons is the 10th member of the Corsair ice hockey program to be inducted into the UMass Dartmouth Hall of Fame. Described by his coach John Rolli as "a lanky and acrobatic goaltender," Pearsons was in net for the Corsairs when they won the 1989 ECAC Championship. That night he stopped 32 shots in a 4-2 win over Iona College and was named the Most Valuable Player of the Game. In his first season with the Corsairs, Pearsons finished the regular season with three consecutive shutout wins and set an ECAC Division II/III record for holding opponents scoreless for 211:37 over a four game span. As a senior in 1990, Pearsons was selected as the ECAC co-MVP as well as an ECAC and New England Hockey Writers All-Star. For his career, Pearsons tops all UMass Dartmouth goalies with 11 career shutouts, 87 games played and 66 career wins, while posting a .898 saves percentage and a 2.65 goals against average. He currently ranks fourth among all UMass Dartmouth goalies with a career record of 66-19-1 for a 773 winning percentage. At the conclusion of his senior season, he was recognized as the team's Most Valuable Player and selected for the Ken Whitten Corsairs Award. After graduation, Pearsons was an assistant ice hockey coach for three seasons and was part of the 1993 ECAC championship team.
