BOSTON – The University of Massachusetts men’s hockey team rallied to score twice with less than six minutes to go in the third period to even the score on Saturday.

It wasn’t enough, though, as Northeastern went on to take the matchup in overtime, 3-2, at Matthews Arena. The loss leaves the Minutemen at 8-9-0 overall and 2-6-0 in Hockey East, while the Huskies improve to 10-4-0 and 5-3-0 in league action.

“I was very, very happy with the way our team played tonight,” said UMass head coach Greg Carvel . “I thought we controlled the second half of the game, then some strange events there. Nick VanTassell breaks his stick on the penalty kill, and then Francesco Dell’Elce loses a tire. Those two things, to me, decided the game, but I was very happy with the way our guys played."
