The UMass hockey team completed its season opening sweep of RPI as Mitchell Chaffee netted two goals in a 3-1 victory, Saturday night at Houston Field House in Troy, New York.
“Just like (Friday) night I felt, as the game went on, our skating and our legs seemed to be in better conditioning than RPI’s and the third period was really solid,” UMass coach Greg Carvel said in a statement. “I thought we just really neutralized them and then that was a huge goal at the end before they could get the goalie out. I’m very happy, that’s a very good road win. There are no easy road wins.”
Chaffee scored his first goal 5 minutes, 7 seconds into the second period to break a 1-1 tie. Bobby Trivigno had the assist.
Chaffee scored with 1:36 left in the game to seal the win. Trivigno and Jake Gaudet had assists.
