"A real good result on the road, whenever you can get a team shutout and that's what it was tonight," said UMass Lowell Head Coach Norm Bazin. "I thought our defensemen did a nice job helping out at netfront and Hernie stood tall."

Sodergren added the empty-netter for his second goal of the night with 1:27 to play to seal the win for the River Hawks. 
 
Junior forward Kenny Hausinger added his sixth of the season to extend the River Hawks lead to 2-0 on the power play with 11:19 to go in the second frame. The River Hawks outshot Colgate, 6-5 in the second period.
