No. 17 Quinnipiac 3, Vermont 2 (OT)<\/b><\/p>\n
After Liam Coughlin scored for Vermont to make it 1-0 at 3:23 of the second period, Quinnipiac responded almost immediately, as Odeen Tufto scored 35 seconds later. This set the stage for a see-saw battle, as Quinnipiac took the lead late in the period, only to have Craig Puffer tie it up midway through the period. But after the Bobcats lost in overtime to BU last Sunday, they turned the table on tonight’s Hockey East opponent: Tufto scored his second goal of the game at 2:27 of OT for the win. <\/b><\/p>\n

Sacred Heart 3, Connecticut 1<\/b><\/p>\n
Connecticut piled up 45 shots against their cross-state rivals tonight but still dug itself a 3-0 hole and never managed to climb out. Going 0-for-5 on the power play was one issue, as was the goaltending of Sacred Heart netminder Adam Huska, who made 44 saves. Matt Tugnutt got the game winner for the home team with his first collegiate goal.<\/p>\n
Massachusetts 3, American International 1<\/b><\/p>\n

No. 12 UMass-Lowell 5, Omaha 2<\/b><\/p>\n
The River Hawks saw their 3-0 lead dwindle to a one-goal margin late in the second period, but Kenny Hausinger scored at 7:47 of the third period to give the hosts some breathing room, and Tyler Mueller sealed it with an empty-net goal. John Edwardh and Croix Evingson each ended up with a goal and an assist. For Evingson, it was both his first collegiate goal and the eventual game winner.<\/p>\n
