Box Score

CANTON, N.Y. -- The 14th-ranked Providence College men's hockey team defeated St. Lawrence, 4-2, on Saturday, November 30 at the Appleton Arena. The win ended PC's five game winless streak. The Friars last won on November 9 against Northeastern..

Providence scored first when senior Peter Fregoe (Massena, N.Y.) skated in on a 2-on-1 rush and found senior Jon DiSalvatore (S. Windsor, Conn.), who tallied his seventh goal of the season at 4:36 of the first period. The Friars increased their lead to 2-0 as Fregoe scored a power-play goal at the 9:21. For Fregoe, it was his team leading 12th goal of the season. However, the Saints cut the lead to 2-1 just 22 seconds later as T.J. Trevelyan recorded his second goal of the season. Less than five minutes later, the Saints tied the game at 2-2 on Josh Anderson's goal at 14:39.

The Friars regained the lead late in the second period on a 5-on-3 power play. Junior Stephen Wood (Sudbury, Mass) eluded one defender, and tucked a back hander past Saints' goaltender Sean Knaub at 15:25 for his first goal of the season. Wood struck again to give the Friars a 4-2 lead at the 8:38 mark of the third period as his screen shot from the blue line eluded Knaub. The Saints pulled Knaub for an extra attacker, but the Friar defense, led by freshman netminder Bobby Goepfert (Kings Park, N.Y.) held off the Saints. Goepfert made a career high 45 saves in net, while Knaub stopped 22 shots.

The Friars will next play on Thursday, December 5 versus Merrimack in Merrimack in North Andover, Mass.
