DeSmith is in net once again for the 'Cats. Quast remains out and Kelleher returns to the lineup for UNH. The starters for UNH are Sorkin-Goumas-Willows as the forwards and Knodel-Van Riemsdyk. The #20 UNH Wildcats (12-10-1) lost in the 2012 Ledyard Classic to Dartmouth (3-11-2). Game is almost underway.

Goumas with the tying goal for UNH. The fish was thrown as per UNH home game usual. UNH is considered the host this year. 1-1 score.

PP goal for UNH 10 seconds into the high sticking penalty. Deflection made by Willows with the shot from the point by Knodel. The PP combination of Sorkin-Goumas-Willows-Knodel-Van Riemsdyk has been on fire the last handful of games.

Remains 2-1 UNH after 2. No goals in the 2nd, but there were many great chances, especially in the middle of the period by UNH.

Agosta with the shot from the right side that beats Dartmouth to regain the lead. 3-2 Wildcats. May have been a deflection.

Goal is under review to see if deflected with a high stick.

Timeout Dartmouth. They may take out Grant now. They may wait until after the faceoff if they win.

Goumas with the goal to make it 4-2. Grant did not leave the net since Goumas won the draw. Sorkin led a rush and Goumas put it past the goalie.

UNH win the Riverstone Cup XIII with a 4-2 victory over Dartmouth. Goumas had 2 goals and Willows had another on the PP as the 'Cats now have a 4 game win streak.

UNH returns next weekend with current #4 Union for 2 games at the Whitt. A tough series of 2 for the Wildcats, whom have struggled facing top 5 teams while they were ranked in the top 5 as of the game vs. UNH.
