Summary
PORTSMOUTH, R.I. - For the second straight night a power play goal in the second period is the difference for the Salve Regina University men's ice hockey team. Tonight, it was a power play tally from Vincent Marino (Waterford, Mich.), his first career goal, at 12:29 of the second period that proved to be the difference in a 4-2 victory over visiting Nichols College in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action.

Turning Point
J.B. Baker (Columbia, Md.) scored at 15:34 of the third period to draw the Bison within a goal at 3-2. Like the night before, the Bison pulled their goalie for an extra attacker, but this time the Seahawks were able to make them pay when Erik Udahl (East Walpole, Mass.) sent a rink-wide shot high in the air that slowly trickled down and in to the open net to seal the win for the Seahawks with 18 seconds remaining.
