PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The eighth-ranked Providence College men's hockey team defeated Northeastern, 4-3, on Saturday, November 9 in HOCKEY EAST action at Schneider Arena in Providence, R.I.

Northeastern made the most of its first shot on goal as Mike Morris wristed a shot that slipped through PC freshman netminder Bobby Goepfert's pads at 1:29 of the first period.

The offense picked up in the second period as the two teams combined to score three goals. The Huskies increased their lead to 2-0 at the 8:40 mark as Mike Ryan backhanded a high shot over Goepfert during a scrum in front of the net on a power play. Two minutes later, the Friars took advantage of a power play to score their first goal of the night. Senior Mike Lucci (Parma, Ohio) lifted in a rebound at 10:46 for his first goal of the season. The Friars evened the game at 2-2 at the 11:15 mark as junior Jon Goodwin (Taunton, Mass.) streaked down the right wing and fired a slap shot that beat NU goaltender Keni Gibson to the shortside.

The Friars took their first lead of the game at 14:43 of the third period when junior Peter Zingoni (Newtown, Conn.) collected a rebound in front of the net and converted his ninth goal of the season. Junior Cody Loughlean (Innisfail, Alta.) scored what proved to be the game winner at the 14:43 mark of the third period. While on the power play, freshman James Pemberton (Cumberland, R.I.) fired a slap shot from the point that was tipped by Loughlean over Gibson's left shoulder. Ryan scored his second goal of the night to make the score, 4-3, with 18 seconds remaining, but the Friars held on for their eighth victory in nine games.

Gibson made 45 saves, while Goepfert stopped 29 shots to earn his fourth victory of the season.
