#15 Massachusetts Hockey Blanks Brown, 3-0, In Mullins Return
January 03, 2023 | Hockey
Freshman Tyson Dyck scored twice for the Minutemen in the victory.
AMHERST, Mass. – A two-goal night from freshman Tyson Dyck helped propel No. 15 Massachusetts hockey to a 3-0 victory over Brown at the Mullins Center on Tuesday night. With the win, the Minutemen improve to 9-7-3 overall, while the Bears fall to 4-10-2.
Â
"I thought it was a really solid game," said UMass head coach Greg Carvel. "We're still giving up breakaways and some odd-man rushes. I'd really like to clean that up, but the thing that I like is our young guys are really starting to come around. Tyson Dyck and Cole O'Hara I thought were really good tonight. Our defense is banged up. If you're healthy, you're playing right now. It will be good to get (Ryan) Ufko back. I like the way we're trending, I just think we're still giving up more chances than we should. I know we were outshot tonight, but a lot of those shots were from the outside. It was a good 60 minutes. It felt like the momentum never really got out of our hands and I've seen a lot of guys games' getting better, so it's all positives for me."
Â
With the game still scoreless midway through the second period, Dyck put UMass on the board with a power-play goal at the 8:23 mark. Sophomore Scott Morrow sent the puck to senior Cal Kiefiuk in the right faceoff circle and Kiefiuk fed Dyck at the top of the crease for a quick redirection past netminder Mathieu Caron.
Â
Dyck followed with his second of the game shortly after, deflecting in a shot by freshman Cole O'Hara off an offensive zone faceoff win by freshman Michael Cameron 10:53 into the second.
Â
Morrow then completed the scoring with an empty net goal at the 19:31 mark of the third period, blocking a shot and then flipping the puck into the air and down the length of the ice.
Â
Massachusetts goaltender Luke Pavicich turned aside all 33 he faced for the Minutemen to pick up his second shutout of the season as UMass was outshot on the evening, 33-27. The Minutemen went 1-for-4 on the power play and 2-for-2 on the penalty kill.
Â
UMass will return to action on Saturday, January 7, taking on Boston College in a non-league Frozen Fenway matchup at 6 p.m. on NESN from Fenway Park in Boston.
