UMass men's club hockey dominates pool play, defeating Northeastern 4-1

UMass men’s club hockey dominated pool play, beating visiting Northeastern 4-1 on Saturday. The Minutemen improved to 5-2-1 after a penalty-heavy second period that included Northeastern’s only goal, then scored twice in quick succession at the end of the third. With two minutes remaining, junior Sam Lally finished the win, redirecting one past Huskies goalie Paul Knapik; the play was assisted by Jack O’Neil for his fifth setup of the season. A minute earlier, junior Christian Rosa beat defenders one-on-one with Knapik for his third goal. UMass outshot Northeastern with 30-plus efforts, and Zach Sideropoulos opened scoring within 10 minutes on a power play.
