LOWELL, Mass. -- The University of Massachusetts sophomore right winger Tim Turner (Saginaw, MI) scored with 14 seconds left in overtime to defeat regional rival UMass-Lowell, 5-4, Friday night at Tsongas Arena. The win improves UMass to 2-3-1 overall and 2-1-0 Hockey East, while the loss drops the River Hawks to 2-3-0 overall and 0-3-0 in Hockey East.
UMass scored early and often in the first period, scoring four goals on the first four shots.

P?ck then assisted on Brad Nizwantowski's (Peabody, MA) power play goal at 9:07 and Jeff Turner set up Callahan's power play goal at 13:33 to cap the first period for the Minutemen.
