NORTHEASTERN, MASS. -- The Providence College men's hockey team defeated Northeastern, 4-3, at Matthews Arena in Boston on Saturday, November 10th. Sophomore Jon DiSalvatore (South Windsor, Conn.) scored four goals in the win for the Friars.
DiSalvatore became the first Friars to score four goals in a game since Dennis Burkes' four-goal game against Northeastern on December 10, 1994.
The only scoring in the first period was done by Northeastern when the Huskies' Chris Lynch fired a shot that hit PC's Peter Fregoe (Massena, N.Y.) in the back and into the Friars' goal. PC goaltender Nolan Schaefer (Yellow Grass, Sask.) made a total of 13 saves in the period, to keep the Friars in the contest.
In the second period, Northeastern opened up a 2-0 lead when Jim Fahey came out of the penalty box, received a long pass in the Providence end and broke in all alone with Schaefer and beat the Friars' goaltender low and past the left pad. The Friars pulled to within one goal at the 8:42 mark when Jon DiSalvatore (South Windsor, Conn.) fired a shot from the high slot over the glove of NU's Jason Braun and into the top left corner of the net for a power-play goal. Stephen Wood (Sudbury, Mass.) and Devin Rask (Parkside, Sask.) assisted on PC's fifth power-play goal of the season.
DiSalvatore scored his second goal of the contest at the 14:01 mark when he broke in all alone on NU's Braun and scored shorthanded. With 9:40 remaining in the contest PC's Wood unleased a blast from the points that sailed over Braun's glove and into the top corner of the goal to put the Friars ahead, 3-2. Mike Ryan tied the contest at 3-3 at the 6:07 mark but DiSalvatore, right off a face off pass from junior Doug Wright (Kamsack, Sask.), scored his third goal of the game, putting Providence ahead, 4-3, with 6:00 minutes remaining. DiSalvatore added his fourth goal of the game with 13 seconds remaining with an empty netter from Chris Chaput and Nolan Schaefer.
The Friars return to action on Wednesday, November 14 when they travel to Boston College for a 7:00 p.m. face off.
