Connecticut used three third period goals to hold-off American International College, 5-2. The loss, coupled with Sacred Heart’s 5-2 win over Bentley College drops the Yellow Jackets to eighth place in the Conference standings and just three points ahead of the winner of tonight’s Fairfield-Holy Cross tilt for the final Conference playoff spot.<\/p>\n
The victory gave Connecticut Head Coach Bruce Marshall his 200th career triumph at his alma mater. Marshall (’85) has led the Huskies to a 200-140-28 (.582) clip in his 13 seasons behind the bench.<\/p>\n
AIC trailed just 2-1 after two periods of play, but senior captain Michael Goldkind struck with what proved to be the gamewinner 7:13 into the third period.<\/p>\n
The Yellow Jackets closed within one on an Aaron Arnett goal at 14:40.<\/p>\n
However, the Huskies answered with a goal from sophomore Ron D’Angelo at 16:17, and an empty-netter from junior Anders Johnson at 19:53, to seal the victory.<\/p>\n
UConn took a 1-0 lead in the first on freshman Eric Nelson’s goal at 9:00. AIC evened the score at 4:08 of the second on a goal by sophomore Bryan Bassler. <\/p>\n
The Huskies answered just 1:12 later as junior Trent Landry netted a goal at 5:20 to put them up for good.<\/p>\n
UConn freshman goaltender Jason Carey recorded 22 saves to preserve the victory. AIC senior netminder Chance Thede registered 36 saves in defeat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
