UConn men’s hockey returned from winter break with a 2-1 overtime victory on the road against the LIU Sharks. Hudson Schandor banged home a one-timer in the extra period to secure the win for the Huskies.
Less than a minute into 3-on-3 OT, UConn sprang free on a 3-on-2 rush led by Ryan Tverberg. He skated in, made a move to get past one defender and sent it to a crashing Schandor, who buried the pass for the winner.
All three goals came courtesy of special teams. The Huskies opened the scoring with a power play goal from Andrew Lucas but LIU answered back with one of their own to tie at 1-1 in the first period.
