Shawn Mansoff scored two goals and added one assists to lead Quinnipiac to a 4-1 victory over first-place Mercyhurst in a MAAC contest before 758 at the Northford Ice Pavilion.<\/p>\n
The victory, which avenged a disappointing 6-0 loss to Mercyhurst on January 12, improved Quinnipiac’s record to 14-9-3 (11-6-1 MAAC). Mercyhurst dropped to 14-8-2 (14-3-1 MAAC).<\/p>\n
Mercyhurst’s Tom McMonagle scored just 3:16 into the contest as he one-timed a pass from Eric Ellis past Quinnipiac goaltender Justin Eddy. Nearly 11 minutes later, Anthony DiPalma rifled a slap shot from just inside the blue line to tie the score at one.<\/p>\n
In the second period, the two teams played evenly for 18 minutes until Mansoff corralled a rebound off a Brian Herbert shot and flipped one past a sprawling Peter Aubry to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n
Mansoff made it 3-1 at 4:09 of the third period when he converted off another rebound -this time off a Ben Blais shot that was saved by Aubry just in front of the net. Chris Cerrella then sealed the victory with a 5-on-3 power-play goal at the 9:55 mark. Cerrella’s goal, his team-leading 16th of the season, increased his point-scoring streak to six games.<\/p>\n
Herbert and Matt Erhart each assisted on two goals for the Braves, who killed off all seven Mercyhurst power plays. Quinnipiac has killed off its last 23 penalty-killing situations.<\/p>\n
Eddy made 31 saves in net, his 10th 30-save effort of the season. Aubry made 29 for Mercyhurst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
