Freshman Matt Murray made a season-high 29 saves for the Minutemen in the setback.
AMHERST, Mass. – Ohio State scored a goal in each period to defeat University of Massachusetts hockey, 3-0 on Saturday night at the Mullins Center. Following the setback, the Minutemen are now 3-3-0 on the season, while the Buckeyes improve to 3-1-2.
Â
"Tonight was not totally unexpected," said UMass head coach Greg Carvel. "I knew we were going to play a really really good hockey team this weekend and I thought we did a good job last night to play a pretty even game and tonight just wasn't the case. Ohio State is a very good team, a mature, older team, with a lot of juniors and seniors. We just didn't have a lot of energy tonight and they out-classed us. I tip my hat to them, they played a really good game."
Â
Ohio State opened the scoring 11:12 into the first period. Kevin Miller knocked the puck past Matt Murray off a feed from Tanner Laczynski and Dakota Joshua.
Â
The Buckeyes pushed their lead to 2-0 at the 12:19 mark of the second period. Laczynski and Wyatt Ege set up a Janik Moser strike from the high slot that rung under the crossbar.
Â
Freshman Cale Makar narrowly missed putting the Minutemen on the board with less than three minutes to go in the frame, tipping a centering feed just wide on the rush. Matt Murray kept UMass within two in the closing seconds of the period with a stellar glove save on Matt Miller that went to review and was ruled to have not crossed the goal line.
Â
The Minutemen out-shot Ohio State 9-8 in the final stanza, but Buckeyes managed to net their third of the night at the 17:19 mark. Laczynski picked up his third assist of the contest as Matthew Weis slid the puck underneath Murray for the tally.
Â
The Buckeyes finished the game with a 32-23 shot advantage. UMass was a perfect 6-for-6 on the penalty kill and went 0-for-3 on the power play. Murray (2-2-0) totaled 29 saves in net for the Minutemen and his counterpart, Sean Romeo, made 23 stops for Ohio State.
Â
UMass will be back in action next Friday, Oct. 27, when the squad will open Hockey East play at home against Merrimack at 7 p.m.
