The teams play again on Saturday at 6 pm ET.
No. 13 Providence 6, No. 10 UMass Lowell 1
The Friars offense which had been anemic of late exploded against a red hot UMass Lowell team, cruising past the River Hawks, 6-1, on the road.
Kasper Bjorkqvist opened the scoring for the Friars and went on to score twice. Jacob Bryson’s three assists led the Friars offense.
The win places Providence within two points of the second-place River Hawks as the two teams face-off on Saturday night in Providence. It was also the 65th career win for net minder Hayden Hawkey, propelling him to top on the all-time wins list at Providence.
With that win, congratulations to @hawkeypuck35 on becoming the winningest goaltender in program history with 65 wins! pic.twitter.com/WWzHzDQZ0R
