HENNIKER, NH. — The Norwich University men’s ice hockey team rallied in the third period for the second straight night, scoring three times en route to a 4-2 victory over New England College on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

No. 4 nationally-ranked Norwich (14-2-2, 9-1-1 NEHC) picked up a huge New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) victory with the comeback in a battle of the top two teams in the league standings coming into the game.<\/p>\n

Christian Thompson (Windham, N.H.), Felix Brassard (St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec) and Scott Swanson (Wheaton, Ill.) all scored third-period goals to turn a 2-1 deficit into a two-goal victory at the Lee Clement Arena.<\/p>\n

Norwich extended its unbeaten streak to eight straight games with the win and now has a three-point lead over New England College in the NEHC standings. Red-hot Babson College is in third, four points back, but has played one less game than Norwich and NEC.<\/p>\n

The Cadets struck first at the 5:41 mark of the first period with Carter Cowlthorp (Boissevain, Manitoba) scoring his second goal of the season off assists from Thompson and Braedyn Aubin (Woodstock, Ontario). Cowlthorp made a pretty move to evade the goalie and then flip the puck into the open net and give Norwich the 1-0 lead. <\/p>\n

NEC (11-5-1, 8-3-0 NEHC) tied the game back up at 1-1 with Hunter Hall scoring on a double deflection off two Norwich players with Josh Chamberlain picking up the assist.<\/p>\n

The Pilgrims took the 2-1 lead at the 2:24 mark of the second period with Connor Dunn scoring his first goal of the season off assists from Alex Laplante and Jhuwon Davis. <\/p>\n

Norwich didn’t score the rest of the second period and once again for the second-straight night faced a road deficit heading to the final period.<\/p>\n

Thompson opened the third-period scoring and the comeback bid with Thompson scoring his first goal of the season off assists from Aubin and Cowlthorp.<\/p>\n

Norwich took the lead for good at the 9:17 mark of the third period with Brassard blasting a one-timer on a power play past NEC’s Anthony Pupplo to make it 3-2 Cadets. Aubin and Downs picked up the assists on the goal.<\/p>\n

Swanson gave Norwich an insurance tally at the 14:30 mark of the third period with his second goal of the season off assists from Gabriel Chicoine (St. Dominique, Quebec) and Brassard. <\/p>\n

Norwich senior goalie Tom Aubrun (Chamonix, France) made 22 saves to improve to 13-2-2 on the year. Pupplo made 27 saves in the loss for the Pilgrims.<\/p>\n

Norwich returns home to Kreitzberg Arena to take on Skidmore College at 7 p.m. on Friday, January 24 and then No. 5-ranked Hobart College on Saturday, January 25 in a rematch of the last two NEHC Championship games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
