SNHU played the game without head coach Rene Le Clerc, who was recovering at Manchester's Catholic Medical Center after suffering a mild heart attack Friday morning. The Penmen trailed 2-0 after one period, but scored three goals on just five shots in the first 2:19 of the second period to take a 3-2 lead. Senior Chris White (Naperville, IL) totaled a goal and an assist during SNHU's two playoff games last week and closed out his career with 102 points (45 gls, 57 asts) in 106 gamesSTONEHILL: Stonehill, winners of 11 of its last 15 contests, matched the school single-season record for victories with 14 triumphs and advanced to the Northeast-10/ECAC Division II semi-finals for the fourth time in seven years.
