Norwich Tops Hockey in Exhibition 7-2

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - Host Norwich University got goals from seven different players as it topped Southern New Hampshire University 7-2 in a non-conference exhibition ice hockey game in front of 1,507 at Kreitzberg Arena.  The Cadets reached the NCAA Division III semifinals last season.

Norwich jumped out to a 2-0 lead after one period and extended its lead to 4-0 5:30 into the second period before SNHU got on the board on a John Frey (Westminster, CO) goal at the 5:57 mark.  Ryan DiBartolomeo (Leominster, MA) and Neil Adams (Gardner, MA) assisted on the goal.  The Cadets would score twice more in the second to take a 6-1 lead into the second intermission.

The other Penmen tally came at the 15:37 mark of the third period when Andrew Hildreth (Leominster, MA) scored off a feed from DiBartolomeo.

Shane Brooks (Kennebunk, ME) stopped 26 shots between the pipes for the Penmen, who were outshot 33-19.

SNHU returns to action Thursday, November 20, when it hosts Assumption College in a 7:30 contest at The Ice Den.
