No. 17 River Hawks Claw Out 2-1 Victory at UConn
12/21/2020 8:37:00 PM | Men's Ice Hockey
STORRS, Conn. – Sophomore forward Zach Kaiser (Orangeville, Ontario) notched a late third period goal to help propel the No.17 UMass Lowell hockey team to its first victory of the 2020-21 season against Connecticut on Monday night at the Mark Edward Freitas Ice Forum.
Â
The River Hawks improved their record to 1-1-0 overall (1-1-0 HEA), while the Huskies fall to 1-3-1 overall (1-3-1 HEA).
Â
UConn's Carter Turnbull evened the game at 1-1 for the Huskies on a power play opportunity of their own with 4:11 remaining in the second stanza for his second tally of the year.
Â
Kaiser's go-ahead goal would come at 2:50 of the final stretch, as the sophomore snuck a pass from fellow classmate Matt Brown (Wood Ridge, N.J.) to bury the puck deep into the left corner.
Â
Freshman goaltender Henry Welsch (Lakeville, Minn.) made 31 saves in his first career start for the River Hawks. UConn's Vomacka totaled 24 stops in the losing effort.
Â
Junior forward Lucas Condotta (Georgetown, Ontario) won a game-high nine faceoffs in the winning effort for the visitors. 10 different River Hawks registered at least one block for a season-high of 14.
Â
The River Hawks return to action on Saturday, December 26th vs. Massachusetts. Game time from the Tsongas Center is 6 p.m.

The River Hawks improved their record to 1-1-0 overall (1-1-0 HEA), while the Huskies fall to 1-3-1 overall (1-3-1 HEA).
"It was a good, evenly played hockey game," commented head coach Norm Bazin. "Both teams made you earn your chances, and it took one last shot for someone to win it. It was certainly a typical Lowell/UConn matchup we've seen over the last few years."Â
Sophomore forward Carl Berglund (Hammaro, Sweden) struck early for the River Hawks on a power play, tallying his first goal of the season only seven minutes into the first frame, which beat UConn goalie Tomas Vomacka right-side off a wrist shot from the faceoff. Junior duo Reid Stefanson (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and Chase Blackmun (Hudson, Wis.) each assisted on the goal.Â
