College hockey: Middlebury 3, UMass-Dartmouth 2

Freshman John Sullvian scored the game-winning power-play goal at 6:15 of the third period as three-time defending national champion Middlebury defeated UMass-Dartmouth, 3-2, last night at Kenyon Arena in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III men’s hockey tournament. With the win Middlebury advances to the Frozen Four.

This is the second straight year UMass-Dartmouth has lost to Middlebury in the playoffs. With the victory, Middlebury extended its undefeated streak at home against non-conference opponents to 32 in a row.

Middlebury (19-7-3) took a 1-0 lead in the first period on an Eric LaFreniere goal at 7:29. UMass-Dartmouth answered just under two minutes later on Paul Carr’s unassisted, short-handed goal, his sixth of the season.

Middlebury regain the lead 31 seconds into the second period on a Mickey Gilchrist goal off an assist from Jamie McKenna.

UMass-Dartmouth (25-3-1) quickly responded, tying it at 2-2 at 3:24 of the second period. Jeff Grant netted his 25th goal off the year off assists from Francis Gunn and Paul Moran.
