How it Happened

Assumption opened the scoring late in the first period when Brett Cunningham finished a pass from Jonathan Surrette at the 14:59 mark, giving the Greyhounds a 1-0 lead heading into the first intermission.

Saint Anselm answered quickly in the second period as Tremblay netted an unassisted goal just 1:04 into the frame to even the score at 1-1.

The Greyhounds responded with a pair of goals to close the period. Dean Simeone regained the lead for Assumption at 6:04 before Patrick McKiernan added another unassisted marker at 15:27 to extend the advantage to 3-1 entering the third period.

Assumption pushed its lead to three goals early in the third period when Surrette scored a shorthanded tally at 8:16.

The Hawks began to rally shortly after as Collins scored at 9:19 to cut the deficit to 4-2, but Surrette struck again at 14:35 to restore the Greyhounds' three-goal cushion.

Saint Anselm mounted a late push in the closing seconds of regulation. Linart scored at 19:33 before Myers added another with just 3.6 seconds remaining, but Assumption held on for the 5-4 victory and the program's fourth-ever NE10 Championship.
