UConn men’s hockey gave up two goals in the third period en route to a 2-1 loss to the No. 10 UMass Minutemen at the XL Center. After two scoreless periods, the Minutemen struck first on a power play eight minutes into the third and added a second with 2:55 remaining. While the Huskies pulled one back late, it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit.
“UMass was the better team tonight”
Postgame, both coaches agreed that the better team came out on top on Friday night.
“I thought our guys were outstanding tonight and played a really solid 60 minutes,” UMass coach Greg Carvel said.
