With the win, the Friars will faceoff against second-seeded UMass on Saturday night (March 12) at 7 p.m. at the Mullins Center.
SCORE
Providence – 2 | Vermont – 1
RECORDS
No. 20 Providence – 22-13-2 (12-11-1 HEAM) | Vermont– 8-25-2 (6-16-2 HEAM)
VENUE
Schneider Arena – Providence, R.I.
GOALIES
Jaxson Stauber (PC) – 17 saves
Gabe Carriere (Vermont) – 38 saves
NOTES
- Both teams skated through the opening period scoreless. The Friars held a 16-4 advantage in shots during the opening frame.
- Providence broke the ice, 1-0, at 6:01 of the second period with a goal from Cody Monds, who won a race for a loose puck and beat Carriere on a breakaway. It was Monds' fifth goal of the season and third against the Catamounts this year. Jaxson Stauber earned his fifth assist of the season on the play.
- Brett Berard extended the Friars' lead to 2-0 at 3:19 of the third period off a toss from the half wall, assisted by Parker Ford, for his 18th goal of the season. Berard won a battle along the boards and sent a shot towards the net which deflected off a Vermont defenseman and in.
-Vermont got on the board, 2-1, with a 6-on-4 advantage with 1:58 to play after Patrick Moynihan was whistled for a trip and goaltender Gabe Carriere was pulled from net.
- The Friars held on during a frantic final minute for the win and earned their fourth win of the season against the Catamounts in four attempts.
- Providence will appear in the 34th quarterfinal appearance (32-36-1) and aim for their seventh semifinal appearance under Nate Leaman. The Friars have appeared in the quarterfinal round in every season with Nate Leaman at the helm, excluding the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 playoffs.
- The Friars will look to avenge last year's season-ending loss in the Mullins Center in the Hockey East Semifinals. The Minutemen claimed this year's series, 2-1-0, but the Friars took the last meeting back on Jan. 28 in Amherst by a 2-1 score. Providence is 2-1 all-time against UMass in postseason play.
