At the NCAA DI level Mason Morelli had his first college goal for UNO as they beat St. Cloud 7-2 on Saturday night. Merrick Madsen picked up his fourth shutout of the season in Harvard’s 0-0 tie with Rensselaer. Atte Tolvanen went 1-0-1 making 76 saves for Northern Michigan against Alabama – Huntsville.
At the NCAA DIII level Jerry Laakso had a goal and three assists as Umass-Dartmouth topped Framingham State on Saturday. Jake Howie had two more goals giving him six for Matian University who split with St. Scholastica on Friday and Saturday nights.
