PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence College Friars defeated 14th-ranked Northeastern, 3-1, in HOCKEY EAST action on Friday, February 4 at PC's Schneider Arena in Providence, R.I. With the win, the Friars swept the season series from the Huskies, 3-0, and improved to 5-5 against ranked teams this season.

Doug Sheppard got the Friar offense going in the first period when he took a pass from Drew Omicioli and backhanded a shot past NU netminder Mike Gilhooly at the top of the crease at 15:31.

NU's Willie Levesque put the Huskies on the scoreboard with his seventh goal of the season at 16:40 of the second period. Levesque broke down the left side and fired a wrist shot past PC goaltender Boyd Ballard for Northeastern's only goal of the night.

Nick Lent broke the 1-1 tie when he fired a wrist shot at the net from NU's blueline that eluded a screened Gilhooly and found the back of the goal at the 4:54 mark of the third period. Ballard made a number of acrobatic saves to preserve the Friar lead before Omicioli tallied an empty net goal at 19:32 of the third to seal the win for PC.

Ballard played very strong in net for PC, making 36 stops in the victory. Gilhooly recorded 23 saves for Northeastern.

With the win, Providence improved to 13-13-1 overall and in 5-10-0 HOCKEY EAST, while Northeastern fell to 11-9-5 overall and 7-5-5 in league action.
