PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The fourth-ranked Providence College men's hockey team was defeated by the New Hampshire Wildcats, 3-1, on Saturday night in the back end of a two-game set at Schneider Arena.
With their first regulation loss at home since Jan. 10, 2015, the Friars drop to 17-5-4 (8-3-3 HEA). UNH ends its seven game losing streak to improve to 9-13-4 (3-7-4 HEA).
Nick Ellis (Millersville, Md.) made 19 saves for the Friars, while Wildcat netminder Danny Tirone turned away 31 shots for the visitors.
The Friars got on the board first at 3:20 of the first period with an offensive drive from Erik Foley (Mansfield, Mass.). Trevor Mingoia (Fairport, N.Y.) and Mark Jankowski (Dundas, Ontario) worked together to break a bouncing puck out the defensive zone and Foley did the rest with a strong net drive and finish.
UNH battled back to even the score at one with a power play goal from Kyle Smith just 5:13 later after a rebound caromed high into the air and landed right on the Smith's stick.
The Wildcats took the lead for the first time in the weekend series with a wrist shot from Dan Correale to the far side past Ellis just 38 seconds into the second period.
UNH tallied 20 blocked shots after 40:00 minutes of play, holding the Friars to 16 shots in two periods.
At 4:32 of the third period, Smith gave the Wildcats an insurance marker after he batted a rebound off a Marcus Vela shot from mid-air past Ellis.
Providence went on the power play with 3:44 to go in regulation and hammered Danny Tirone with shots but were unable to convert.
The onslaught of shots by the Friars continued as they attempted 37 in the third and 81 overall in the game. Overall, the Wildcats totaled 30 blocked shots in the game including 10 in the third period with the Friars trying to rally.
