With the outcome already decided, the only drama left in the final minutes of Union’s game against Connecticut Sunday was whether Dutchmen forward Jordan Webb would become the school’s all-time Division I leading scorer.<\/p>\n
Webb waited until the final seconds to make history.<\/p>\n
He collected an assist on Joel Beal’s goal with 44 seconds left to give him 105 career points as the Dutchmen shut out the Huskies, 4-0, at Freitas Ice Forum in Storrs, Conn.<\/p>\n
Webb passed Chris Ford on the Union’s Division I scoring list. Ford scored 104 points from 1993-97.<\/p>\n
“I’m happy for him,” Union coach Nate Leaman said.<\/p>\n
Webb has 50 goals and 55 assists in 121 career games. He is tied for 11th with Don Marshall on Union’s all-time overall scoring list, which includes players from its Division III years. Terry Campbell is Union’s top scorer with 170 points.<\/p>\n
Appropriately, the record-breaking point came with Beal on the ice. The duo have been a force on the same line for four years.<\/p>\n
“The D-man rimmed it around the boards,” Webb said. “Casey Ftorek made a good play knocking it down with his glove. He chipped it out into the middle as he took the hit. I just got it, and sent it down to Bealer at the side of the net, and he was able to put it in.<\/p>\n
“It’s kind of fitting that I’ve been taking passes from him at the side of the net for the last three-plus years. I’m glad he could actually score that goal.”<\/p>\n
Playing the final game of their nine-game road trip, the Dutchmen (9-9-1) took a 1-0 lead on Scott Seney’s goal early in the second period. Jonathan Poirier made it 2-0 with a power-play goal late in the second period. Scott Brady scored Union’s first shorthanded goal of the year 3:42 into the third period.<\/p>\n
“It was a game where we got the first 14 shots on net,” Leaman said. “Their goaltender [Scott Tomes] was playing extremely well. It took us a little while to break it open. But I was pleased with the way the guys played. We had possession of the puck most of the game, which was key, I thought.”<\/p>\n
Goalie Kris Mayotte made 26 saves for Union before giving way to third-stringer Dan Tatar with 1:17 left in the game. <\/p>\n
