CHARLESTOWN, Mass. – Sophomore Connor Henry netted a pair of goals, including a shorthanded tally late in the second period, and added an assist for three points to lead the Suffolk men's hockey team to a 4-3 Commonwealth Coast Conference victory over the University of New England Saturday evening at Emmons Horrigan O'Neil Rink.

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 4, New England 3
RECORDS: Suffolk (6-11-4, 4-9-2 CCC) | New England (11-8-2, 7-6-2 CCC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Rams jumped out to a 2-0 advantage just 8:46 into the contest on markers by sophomore Connor Parent and Connor Henry, who extended that lead to 3-0 with 3:51 remaining in the middle period with his unassisted shorthanded goal. The visiting Nor'easters got on board just 36 seconds on a tally by junior Ian Rodden to trail by a 3-1 margin heading into the final frame.

Freshman Brian Brooks restored Suffolk's three-goal edge 4:20 into the third period on a feed from junior Jack Jenkins for what proved to be the game-winning goal.

Senior Chris Harlow's marker just 57 seconds after Brooks' tally sliced UNE's deficit back to two and sophomore Brady Fleurent's shorthanded goal with 9:35 to play made it a one-goal contest, but the hosts held on over that time span to notch their triumph and move into the eighth and final league playoff position.

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING

Connor Henry's three points off two goals and one handout let the way with Parent and Jenkins also finding the back of the net.
Senior Danyil Medvedev, sophomores Sean Henry and LJ Fellows notched assists as well in the win for the Rams.
UNE outshot the Rams by a 32-29 margin, including a 21-16 edge over the final two periods.

KEEPING UP WITH THE KEEPERS

Sophomore Michael Levine picked up the win with a 29-save effort in goal for Suffolk.
Sophomore Joe Noonan suffered the setback with nine saves over the final 23-plus minutes of play for the Nor'Easters, which received 16 stops over the final 36-plus minutes from freshman Tate Sproxton.

NOTEABLES

Suffolk's win over UNE is the first for the Rams in the all-time series with the Nor'Easters.
Connor Henry's three points mark a career-high for the sophomore.
