Summary
PORTSMOUTH, R.I. - Senior forward Nichols Mangone (Massapequa Park, N.Y.) scored in overtime to lift visiting Nichols College to a 5-4 victory over the Salve Regina University men's ice hockey team in the quarterfinals of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) tournament.

In overtime the Bison outshot the Seahawks 10-3, aided by a power play. Shortly after returning to even strength the Bison won an attacking zone draw and Mangone received a pass out near the blue-line, in one motion he turned and let a shot fly that found the back of the next to give the Bison the upset victory on the road.
