Cole scored his third goal of the year and added three assists in the win with six different goal scorers. He joined him in the goal department as a junior Dillan Bentley (Peoria, Ill.), freshman Chris Delaney (Hopkinton, Mass.), senior Isaac Jonsson (Ängelholm, Sweden), junior Connor Eddy (Victoria, BC) and graduate student Ian Carpentier (Worcester, Mass.). Delaney also had an assist, along with senior Ben Meehan (Walpole, Mass.), freshman Mirko Buttazzoni (Langley, BC), graduate student Nick Anderson (Orono, Minn.) and senior Matt Crasa (South Setauket, NY).
Defensively, Meehan and Crasa led the team with two blocks each, while nine other skaters picked up one each. Graduate student Hendrik Wels got the nod and made 14 saves for the win.
“I was pleased with our effort tonight,” said Head Coach Norm Bazin. “Several guys scored their first goals, we stuck to our process all game and I thought our third period was our best period of the night. We are growing as a group every week.”
It was a back and forth to start the game, and it was senior Stefan Owens (Midlothian, Va.) who had the first scoring opportunity at the 2:19 mark, but his shot was just saved by Merrimack goalie Ryan Keyes. Merrimack then got on the board first at 6:49 with a Michael Emerson goal, but the River Hawks got revenge when Bentley took a pass from Crasa in front of the net and sent it through the five-hole for the tying goal at 11:24. .
Delaney then gave the River Hawks the 2-1 lead at 15:18, taking a pass from Cole in the UMass Lowell defensive zone and blowing past a defender before firing top-shelf for his fourth goal of the season. The River Hawks took their lead into the locker room with a 12-6 shots on goal advantage.
The Warriors put the pressure on the River Hawks early in the second, but once again UMass Lowell gained control with multiple scoring opportunities and quality shots on net. They capitalized on a power play at 8:07 with a one-time slap shot from Jonsson that zoomed past Keyes for the 3-1 lead. Cole took control of the puck after Merrimack tried to freeze it against the boards and distributed it to Meehan, who found the wide-open Jonsson.
After a UMass Lowell penalty at 10:06, Merrimack scored on the power play at 11:51, but the River Hawks wasted no time in fighting back, as Eddy got his first goal as a River Hawk at 13:16 on a nice pass over the Buttazzoni's attack zone. Merrimack then nailed a power play goal with 51.8 seconds left to put the game to rest with a 4-3 score in favor of UMass Lowell.
Each team traded shots to start the third, but it was Cole who took advantage, getting his fourth point of the night on his goal at 7:27. After Delaney sent a pass to Anderson near the blue line, Anderson sent a shot on goal that deflected off the path of Merrimack goaltender Max Lundgren and onto Cole's stick, who buried it to make it 5–3. Carpentier then potted the empty-netter for his first as a River Hawk to record the 6-3 win.
Next up, the River Hawks travel to Holy Cross for a standalone game on Friday, November 1 at 7 p.m.
