FRIARS OFF TO 7-0 START FOR FIRST TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY... The 11th-ranked Providence College men's hockey team posted a 2-0 record last week. On Friday, November 1, PC defeated UMass, 2-1, in overtime. Junior Cody Loughlean (Innisfail, Alta.) scored the game winner just 44 seconds into the overtime period. The win marked the first time in school history that the Friars recorded two consecutive Hockey East overtime victories.

On Sunday, November 3, the Friars defeated Princeton, 8-1. With the win, the Friars improved to 7-0, marking the first time in school history that the team has started the season with seven consecutive victories. Rask led the Friars with four goals, all of which came in the third period. For Rask, it was his first career four-goal game and it marked the first time a Friar recorded four goals in a game since senior Jon DiSalavatore (S.
