HENNIKER, N.H.- The Norwich University Men's Ice Hockey team continued their strong New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) play with an authoritative 6-0 shutout victory over New England College Saturday afternoon at Lee Clement Arena.

The Cadets were off and running six minutes into the contest with a goal from Alex Lewis (Moncton, New Brunswick). Even though the score was 1-0 after the first period, Norwich outshot the Pilgrims 18-11. Eventually Norwich's pressure allowed them to break through for three goals in the second period with Patrick O'Neal (Indiana, Pa.) scoring his first of two goals and Patrick Delvecchio (Mississauga, On.) notching a goal and an assist.

In the third, the Cadets would strike on their only two powerplays of the game with O'Neal's second and Clark Kerner (Kansas City, Kan.) scoring in his return from the World University Games. In goal Andrew Albano (Hamilton, On.) stood tall with the 33 save shutout, the second of his career.

"I'm happy to earn a league win on the road," Head Coach Cam Ellsworth said. "We had a lot of good efforts tonight from up and down the lineup."

With two weeks left in the season the Cadets will look to keep their strong NEHC play going when they host Southern Maine on George Commo Day Friday Feb 3 at 7 PM.
