River Hawks pick up series sweep with 2-0 shutout of Vermont
1/19/2019 10:24:00 PM | Men's Ice Hockey
Junior goalie Tyler Wall made 25 saves in his sixth career shutout for the River Hawks
LOWELL, Mass. -- Junior goaltender Tyler Wall (Leamington, Ont.) recorded 25 saves in his sixth career shutout to the lead the UMass Lowell Hockey team to a 2-0 victory and a weekend sweep against Vermont in Hockey East play on Saturday night in front of 4,244 fans at the Tsongas Center.
UMass Lowell, who has now won five straight games, improves its record to 13-8-1 overall (7-4-1 HEA) and moves into sole possession of fifth place in the Hockey East standings. The River Hawks winning streak in the longest since their playoff run in March of 2017. The Catamounts dropped to 8-13-1 overall and 1-10-1 in HEA play with the loss.
"To get a sweep in Hockey East is precious," said UMass Lowell Head Coach Norm Bazin. "Especially at this time of year, so we are excited about that, I thought the team played more like a Lowell type team tonight."
Junior alternate captain Mattias Goransson (Slottsbron, Sweden) notched his fourth goal of the year with a wrist shot from the low slot that gave the River Hawk a 2-0 lead just two and a half minutes after the Dmowski goal. Goransson finished the night with a game-high five shots on goal, which included a failed penalty shot attempt in the first period.
Senior forward Ryan Dmowski (East Lyme, Conn.) opened the scoring in the game with his seventh tally of the season at 10:21 of the first stanza. Dmowski's game-winning tally was his fourth of the year, which is a team-best.
UMass Lowell outshot Vermont, 32-25 for the game, which included a 19-4 advantage in the opening frame. The River Hawks were a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill on the night.Â
Wall stopped 12 shots in the second period, while Vermont's Stefanos Lekkas recorded 30 saves in the losing effort for the Catamounts.Â
"It's obviously hard to sweep in Hockey East and we did a good job of coming out the second night and performing to our potential," said Wall.
The River Hawks return to action on Friday, January 25th at Boston College. Game time from Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass. is 7 p.m.
