UMass Boston (9-4, 4-0 LEC)

HOW IT HAPPENED

The first half of Tuesday's Little East Conference showdown was a battle of scoring runs. Gavin Admirand and Jacob Banks each netted a pair of goals in the first 9:30 of the contest. Jason McNeany joined in on the scoring with a faceoff goal and Connor Smith capped off the 6-0 run with his 40th of the season. 

The Huskies quickly took over with a run of their own, cutting their deficit to two courtesy of four goals scored across the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second.

That 4-0 Southern Maine run was matched by four unanswered goals from the Beacons. Admirand's third and fourth goals as well as a score each from Charlie Chapman and Timothy Sullivan pushed the Beacons' lead back to six, 10-4.

A goal for Southern Maine interrupted the run but a goal apiece for Nolan Beauregard and Jacob Banks sent the Beacons into the half with a 12-5 lead.

In the second half, The Beacons held the Huskies to just one goal in each of the third and fourth quarters. Their offense continued its high-scoring ways, eclipsing the 25-goal benchmark for the fifth time this season. 

The Beacons dominated time of possession thanks to a combined 36-38 effort in the circle by their three faceoff specialists. Jason McNeany led the way with a 17-18 showing while Matt Lucozzi added 15 wins in his 16 faceoffs and Jack DiFalco-Wheeler won all four of his attempts. 

The all-around effort for the Beacons added up to a 25-9 victory, the 100th in the career of Head Coach Tyler Low.
