WORCESTER, Mass. -Â The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth hockey team saw its two-game winning streak snapped at Assumption College, 5-1, Wednesday night at the Worcester Ice Arena.
Senior
Jimmy Pelton scored the lone goal unassisted for the Corsairs (6-4), who held the advantage in faceoffs, 31-28, but were outshot, 36-30.
A different member of the Greyhounds (4-3-1) scored each of the five goals for the home team.
It took just over one minute for Assumption to take a 1-0 lead when senior Robert Holyoke went unassisted. That lead would stand for the remainder of the first period.
UMass Dartmouth would even the score at the 8:53 mark of the second period when the puck deflected back to the blue line where Pelton ripped a long shot that went through a wave of defenders and past the goaltender.
It took until the third period for Assumption to score four consecutive goals and put the game away. Senior Elliot McGuire scored from classmate John Fine-Lease at 5:33. Back-to-back power play goals by senior Devan Sheth from freshman Ronny Paragallo and junior Colin Philippon made it 4-1, and senior William Smith scored with 20 seconds left from senior Christopher Stalmok to finish things off.
