The Seawolves added Providence College to their growing list of victories over nationally-ranked teams, shutting the foes out on the second night of the series.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Seawolves are seeing success in defeating nationally-ranked teams this year, including victories over UMass Lowell, Wisconsin and Penn State earlier this season. On Jan. 20, the team added yet another foe to the list as they shutout #9 Providence College, 4-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The weekend series began the night before, on Jan. 19, in Rhode Island. After a scoreless first period, the hosts got their names on the scoreboard seven minutes into the second period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirty seconds later, Brett Bamber was sent to the penalty box for boarding. The Seawolves battled to keep Providence from scoring, but two minutes into the penalty Nick Poisson scored to increase the Friars\u2019 lead. Neither team scored for the rest of the second period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With four minutes left until the final buzzer, UAA pulled Jared Whale from the game to add another offensive player to the ice. The Seawolves took multiple shots, but Providence kept the puck out of the net and the hosts took the game by two goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we played a decent first period, but as the game wore on you could see we were missing some energy due to the extreme travel day,\u201d said Head Coach Matt Shasby.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe didn\u2019t make enough puck plays to create many good scoring chances, leading to the shutout.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Seawolves returned to the ice the next night determined to defeat the nationally-ranked team. Coach Shasby made a few key adjustments to help the Seawolves get on the scoreboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe came out with a more aggressive mindset and I think we were much sharper due to the extra day of rest. We had a simple game plan of just getting pucks and bodies to the net.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After another scoreless first period, the adjustments began to pay off. With less than eight minutes left in the second period, Alex Gomez got the Seawolves on the scoreboard with his first goal this season. The goal was assisted by Matt Kinash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

William Gilson continued the Seawolf momentum, scoring less than a minute later to extend their lead. Caleb Huffman and Jarred Whale recorded assists for the goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With those back-to-back goals, the Seawolves had officially found their groove and made no signs of slowing down. Max Helgeson fired the puck into the net for an unassisted goal three minutes later and the boys headed into the third period with a 3-0 lead over Providence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not had a scoring run like that all year, so there was a combination of excitement, relief and disbelief on the bench,\u201d said Coach Shasby.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe boys really did what we asked and that was to not pass up a chance to shoot. Once the first puck went in, we gained a lot of confidence and energy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though a Seawolf victory was already in sight, the added confidence and energy motivated the boys to continue shredding the ice. With less than five minutes left in the game, Adam Tisdale scored the last goal of the night. The goal was assisted by Porter Schachle and Matt Allen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the final buzzer went off, it was official\u2013the Seawolves had defeated yet another nationally-ranked opponent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was very happy for our boys to beat such a quality team like Providence,\u201d said Coach Shasby.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cA big win like that was well overdue and deserved. It definitely inserted some confidence as we build for this second half of the season.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
