Men's Ice Hockey rallies past Saint Michael's, 3-2

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Assumption University men's ice hockey team scored a pair of goals in the third period to rally past Saint Michael's College 3-2 in Northeast-10 Conference action Friday evening at the Worcester Ice Center.


THE BASICS
Score: Assumption University 3, Saint Michael's College 2
Records: Greyhounds (22-4-0, 15-2 NE10), Purple Knights (12-13-0, 10-7-0 NE10)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The first period went by fast, as both teams traded chances up and down the ice. The Purple Knights were the first team to score, as Quinn McCarthy found the back of the net at the 17:29 marker. Assumption tied the game in the final minute of the opening frame, as Camron Roberts poked the puck up to center ice, where he found Ronny Paragallo, who beat the Saint Michael's netminder on the breakaway.
 
The Purple Knights were the lone team to get on the scoreboard in the middle frame, as Ashton Allain scored at 2:38. Saint Michael's would carry their 2-1 lead into the third period, but then the game shifted to the hosts. Leo Piandes tied the game at 2:25 as he redirected the pass from Paragallo into the back of the cage. Three minutes later, Luke Evers gave Assumption their first lead of the game as he scored from the slot. Despite the extra pressure from the Purple Knights, the Greyhounds defense and Callum Welch stood strong and held on for a 3-2 win.
