PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Junior Jon DiSalvatore scored with 5:10 remaining in the third period to break a 2-2 tie and give the Providence College Friars a 3-2 HOCKEY EAST win over the UMass Amherst Minutemen on Friday, November 2 in Providence, R.I.

For the sixth consecutive game this season, the Friars allowed the first goal of the contest as the Minutemen took a 1-0 lead at the 15:47 mark of the first period when freshman Peter Trovato broke through the Friar defense and slid a low shot under PC goaltender Nolan Schaefer. The Friars tallied the game-tying goal with 19 seconds left in the first period on a backhander by sophomore John Luszcz.

Senior Peter Fregoe gave PC its first lead of the game as he poked in a rebound at the 3:04 mark of the second period. The Minutemen battled back and gained momentum with a late goal by Tim Vitek with 59 seconds remaining in the second period. UMass' Tim Turner stole Stephen Wood's clearing pass and fired a shot on Schaefer which was stopped, but Vitek pounced on the rebound and lifted a shot high over a sprawled Schaefer.

The third period went back and forth with each team having several scoring opportunities before DiSalvatore netted the game-winning goal for PC.

The Friars outshot UMass, 36-31.

Schaefer made 29 stops in the win. UMass freshman Tim Warner recorded 33 saves.

Providence improved to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in league play, while the Minutemen fell to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in HOCKEY EAST action.

Providence returns to action on Saturday, November 3 against Merrimack at PC's Schneider Arena at 7:00 p.m.
