WINCHENDON, Mass. – The Southern New Hampshire ice hockey team was defeated in a Northeast-10 Conference game against Franklin Pierce University Tuesday night by a score of 3-2. The loss snapped a five-game win streak for the Penmen and puts them at 7-13-2 overall and 5-4-1 in conference play. The Ravens improve to 7-10-3 overall and 5-4 in the league.

Steven Berry (Ashburn, Va.) recorded the first goal of the game at the 5:11 mark in the first period to give the Penmen a 1-0 lead. However, the Ravens would answer when Ted Walsh scored halfway through the period to even the score up at 1-1 heading into the second period.

The Penmen would strike first again in the second period as John Humphrey (Charlestown, Mass.) scored a power-play goal from Berry to give the Penmen a one-goal advantage once again.  But, SNHU would not keep the lead for long, the Ravens would tie the game at 2-2 just a minute later on a Doug Usseglio goal, followed by the game-winner at the 19:15 mark from Anthony Chighisola.

Penmen goalie Tyler Holske (Attleboro, Mass.) turned away 26 shots, while Dave O'Brien saved 28 shots in net for the Ravens.

The Penmen return to action Thursday, February 14 when they host Franklin Pierce for a conference game at 7:00 p.m. The game will mark Southern New Hampshire's last regular-season home game as well as senior night.
