Ice Dogs Rally Late For 1-1 Tie vs. Salve Regina

Worcester, Mass. (February 22) -- In the regular-season finale, the Assumption men's ice hockey team rallied from a late 1-0 deficit to come away with a 1-1 overtime tie vs. Salve Regina on Tuesday night in non-conference action at  Buffone Rink. The game was originally scheduled for February 1st, but was postponed due to weather.

The Seahawks jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead just 3:46 into the game as Brett Pimental scored his ninth goal of the season. The goal was a power-play score and was assisted on by Bryan Russell and Joe Colaianni. After a scoreless second period, the Ice Dogs struck just 4:25 into the third period as junior Taylor Larsen (Blackstone, Mass./Worcester Academy) tied the game up at 1-1. The goal was a team-leading 16th of the season.

Nick Blanchette (Stuart, Fla./Worcester Academy) made 25 saves for the Ice dogs, while Mike McDonald turned aside 33 shots in the tie.

With the tie, the Ice Dogs complete the regular season at 10-14-1 overall, while the Seahawks improve to 2-21-2 overall with the win. Assumption is back in action on Saturday afternoon as the Ice Dogs host Stonehill in a Northeast-10 Conference Tournament quarterfinal game at Buffone Rink beginning at 4:35 p.m.
