Owls Drop First Half of Home and Home

Shelton, CT -- After being delayed for over an hour because there were no referees, The Westfield State Owls came out flat in a big divisional game against Sacred Heart. Westfield took five penalties in the first period and were caught in their zone for most of the period. With just under five minutes to go in the period, the Owls killed off a huge 5 on 3 for a full two minutes. Ryan DiMare played excellent in net and was one of the reason why Westfield only trailed by a goal going into the first intermission.

The Owls would even the score when Nick Rose circled around the left wing circle and fired a back hand shot into the net only 1:19 in the second stanza. However, that's the only offense the Owls would generate and Sacred Heart would go on to score three unanswered goals. It was still a 2-1 game with five minutes remaining but with goals at 15:27 and 18:50 the Owls would receive their first loss in seven games.

The Owls host Sacred Heart on Saturday afternoon on Senior Night! It is another important game with playoff spots on the line. You can follow the game on twitter by following @wsuclub.

Owls Win 5-2 In Semester Opener

South Windsor, CT --- In their first game back from winter break, The Westfield State University club hockey team defeated Eastern Connecticut 5-2. The Owls would get on the board early when Schyler Reilly redirected a Sean Parsons shot from the point. Cole Connolly would pick up the secondary assist on the goal. Eastern Connecticut would tie the game two minutes later when the Owls failed to clear a rebound in front of netminder J.P. Dineen. Dineen got his first collegiate start in net and played solid for his first win. Westfield pressured in the offensive zone and the line of Matt Spadorica and Joe Almeida would put the Owls back in the lead.  Matt Spadorcia would score his first goal of the season with 6:46 remaining in the first period.
 

Eastern Connecticut would make it 2-2 midway through the second period after a clearing attempt went right to a Warrior defender who ripped a shot from the point past Dineen.
 

However, it would be all Westfield in the third period as they went on to score three unanswered goals. Colin Pierce, Nick Rose and Will Macdonald would score in the final period to give the Owls the win.
