Boston, Mass. (January 18) -- The Assumption College men's ice hockey team dropped a 4-2 final at Wentworth on Sunday to finish up a two-game weekend. Sophomore Nick Fenuccio (Keene, N.H. / Keene) and senior Trevor Plante (Blackstone, Mass. / Mt. St. Charles) led the Hounds with one goal apiece on the day. 

With the loss, the Greyhounds fall to 7-10 on the season while the Wentworth Leopards improve to 7-7-2 overall.

Assumption took an early lead over the Leopards when Fennuccio netted his first goal of the season just 6:13 into the game. Fennuccio was assisted by sophomore Ryan Gomez (Wayne, N.J. / Wayne Valley) and senior Joe Arcieri (Newmarket, N.H. / St. Thomas Aquinas) on the play.

Wentworth tied the contest when Jake McDonough notched an equalizer in the 17th minute to send the teams into the locker room with one apiece.

The two squads remained tied until just over halfway through the second period when Plante tallied a go-ahead goal on a power play to give Assumption a 2-1 lead. The goal marked the ninth of the season for the senior.

Just over three minutes later, McDonough struck again to tie it up 2-2 before the Leopards added another just one second before the clock expired in the second.

In the beginning of the third, Wentworth added to its lead when Mike Cox found the back of the net just 59 seconds into the stanza for the final 4-2 score.

Junior Chris Hemhauser (Old Saybrook, Conn. / Glastonbury) turned away 29 shots on the day compared to just 20 for Wentworth goalie Joel Miller. Overall, the Leopards outshot the Hounds 33-22 including 15-2 in the first period.
