Izzi, who has had only one losing season at Nichols, is the program&#8217;s winningest coach with a 100-72-11 mark.&#160; His overall record is 186-27-14, and includes a six year stint to begin&#160; at league rival Johnson &amp; Wales.<br \/>\nAndrew Ella had two goals for the Bisons, including the game winner, while Will Munson&#160; scored the game&#8217;s first goal and assisted on Ella&#8217;s game winning tally.<br \/>\n<strong>Manhattanville 2, Curry 1: <\/strong>A late third period goal by No.4 Manhattanville proved to be the difference against Curry, who had tied the game&#160; just five minutes earlier.&#160; The Valiant&#8217;s first goal came on the power play, while the Colonels were unable to convert any of their seven chances with the man advantage.<br \/>\n<strong>Geneseo 9, Western New England 1: <\/strong>After getting their first win in nearly two months Tuesday against Connecticut College, the Golden Bears fell victim to a flurry of Geneseo goals, including seven in the final two periods.<br \/>\n<strong>Plymouth State 3, Worcester State 1: <\/strong>After a pair of mildly frustrating ties at Wentworth over the weekend, Plymouth State jumped into a tie for first place in the MASCAC with a win at Worcester State.&#160;&#160; Penalties were a problem over the weekend for the Panthers, who were called for just three infractions Thursday.&#160; A David Rose power play goal early in the second period upped Plymouth State&#8217;s lead to 2-0, but the Lancers cut that in half minutes later on John Cahalane&#8217;s goal, but Alex Cottle&#8217;s strike at the end of the second capped the scoring for both teams.<br \/>\n<strong>Salem State 5, Massachusetts-Dartmouth 0: <\/strong>A three goal outburst in just under two minutes turned a close game into a blowout and helped Salem State grab a share of first with Plymouth State. Leading 1-0 coming into the final period,&#160; Salem added a goal at the 7:15 mark before&#160; blowing it open with goals at 11:11, 11:42, and 12:55, respectively. Freshman Ben Vandervies played the last 8:18 in net for the Corsairs, marking the first time this season someone else other then Collin Tracy manned the net for UMD.<br \/>\n<strong>Framingham State 3, Westfield State 1: <\/strong>The Rams scored two goals early and then added a late third period goal to secure their first win of the season and move into a tie with Westfield State for the final playoff spot.&#160; The defeat extended the Owls&#8217; losing streak to five.<br \/>\n<strong>Upcoming Games<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Friday, Jan. 14<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Becker at Assumption: <\/strong> Assumption opened the year with wins over Suffolk and host Becker in the Becker Ice Breaker, but has since posted an 0-3 mark against ECAC Northeast competition. Look for that to continue today. <strong>Becker 3, Assumption 1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Johnson &amp; Wales at Buffalo State:<\/strong> A good non-conference test for the Wildcats, who presently sit in first with a 4-0 ECAC Northeast record. Buffalo State. The Bengals have struggled a bit since checking in at the No. 15 spot on the USCHO.com poll in late November, but still sit in fourth in a talented SUNYAC conference. Give them the slight edge here. <strong>Buffalo State 5, Johnson &amp; Wales 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Saturday, Jan. 15<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Western New England at Worcester State: <\/strong>The teams opened the 2010-11 season with a 3-3 tie. Since then, Western New England has cooled considerably since a hot start, while Worcester State had been gathering steam before a 3-1 loss at home to Plymouth State Thursday night. The Lancers should get back on track against WNEC.<strong> Worcester State 4, Western New England 1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Hobart at Curry:<\/strong> The last in string of tough non-conference opponents sees Hobart travel to Curry.&#160; The Colonels came close against No. 4 Manhattanville; I think they&#8217;ll grab the win here. <strong>Curry 4, Hobart 2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Johnson &amp; Wales at Buffalo State: <\/strong>The closing match of the two game series up north should send the Wildcats home with a win.&#160; <strong>Johnson &amp; Wales 5, Buffalo State 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Utica at Suffolk: <\/strong>The first game of the weekend in Boston comes against Suffolk,&#160; who has struggled to find any consistency.&#160; If the Rams are going to steal a game against No. 11 Utica, they&#8217;ll need a top notch effort in goal from Jeff Rose.&#160; <strong>Utica 4, Suffolk 0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Plymouth State at Salem State: <\/strong>A key matchup in the MASCAC. Each team toppled the squad ahead of them in the standings to set up a battle for first place Saturday. This one is a push, but I&#8217;ll take Salem State-barely. <strong>Salem State 3, Plymouth State 2&#160; (OT)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Fitchburg State at Framingham State: <\/strong>Framingham State is fresh off their first win, while the Falcons are on the heels of a 3-2 overtime loss to New England College on Tuesday. <strong>Fitchburg State 5, Framingham State 1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Westfield State at UMass-Dartmouth: <\/strong>As noted above, the Corsairs imploded in a 5-0 loss to Salem State. They should get back on track against the Owls, who have struggled mightily this year. <strong>UMass-Darmouth 5, Westfield State 2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sunday, Jan. 16<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Hobart at Nichols:<\/strong> Assuming Hobart losses to Curry Saturday, I don&#8217;t see them finishing their weekend in the ECAC Northeast without a win. Nichols will be tough, but Hobart should squeak this&#160; one out. <strong>Hobart 4, Nichols 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Becker at Salve Regina:<\/strong> One of the few conference games of the week in the ECAC Northeast. Becker was dealt its first conference loss of the season last week by Johnson &amp; Wales, but they should get one back against the Seahawks.<strong> Becker 4, Salve Regina 1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Utica at Wentworth:<\/strong> One of the final non-conference games for a young Wentworth squad that peaked before the break, but has since been trying to adjust to a second semester that has seen it lose players to snow delays and practice time to coop jobs. If they can pull it all together by Sunday, they could give Utica a run. I&#8217;m tempted to call the upset, but how about a tie instead?&#160; <strong>Utica 3, Wentworth 3<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before taking a look at what&#8217;s set for the weekend, here&#8217;s a look at the midweek action, including a milestone win at Nichols and some shifts in the MASCAC standings.
