UNH v Merrimack: Game 2
1st Period notes
The period started off in questionable fashion as UNH scored from center Ice on a bouncing puck, the goal was later disallowed after review because a UNH forward was offside during the shot attempt. So Merrimack dodged a bullet early. Five minutes later the Wildcats were able to punch in a power play goal, goal was scored by Stevie Moses and assisted by Mike Borisenok and Matt Campanale. The shot was taken from the left slot. After this it was all Warriors as they were able to capitalize on a short-handed opportunity after a hit from behind call that put them a man down. Then they built on that again when Brendan Ellis tipped in a Karl Stollery slap shot. The Wildcats may have the shot advantage after one but the Warriors are really staying true to their attack mantra.

Final Review:
Another stagnant period in this game, with the action not really coming until the last 4 minutes of the period. Merrimack supplied the only of the period on a scramble in front of the net, when Mike Collins banked a shot off of a UNH defenseman who was prone in the net trying to cover for DiGiorlamo. Since allowing the bouncing puck, Cannata was huge for the Warriors in the third period, never mind the whole game. Merrimack displayed great team defense in all three zones, which helped control the flow of the game and kept UNH from building any real momentum to tie the game up in a 2-1 game. Merrimack sealed the victory night with an empty net goal by Sheen, ending in a 4-1 final.
Boston College and Merrimack College will battle for the Hockey East Championship tomorrow night at the TD Garden. Merrimack is 2-0 against Boston College this season.
