CHARLESTOWN, Mass. -- Freshman Nick Mosher (Cumming, Ga.) netted the game's lone goal with 10:32 remaining, and fellow freshman Michael Levine (Clarendon Hill, Ill.) made that stand up with 23 saves to record his first career shutout in leading Suffolk to a 1-0 ECAC Northeast ice hockey victory over Becker Saturday evening at O'Neil Rink.
Mosher converted feeds from seniors Connor McCarthy (Hanover, Mass.) and Shaughn Shields (Woodbridge, Va.) on the golden goal (his fifth of the season) for the host Rams (13-8-2, 8-5-2 ECAC Northeast), who presented Head Coach Chris Glionna with his 100th career triumph in the process. Levine turned aside nine shots in the final 20 minutes of action to ice his second career win, as he also shined in the opening 9:21 of the contest with five stops that came while the visiting Hawks (8-14-1, 4-9-1 ECAC Northeast) were on a five-minute power play.
Junior Tyler Stepke (Mars, Pa.) made 35 saves, including 25 over the final two periods of play, in the setback for Becker, as Suffolk outshot the Hawks by a 36-23 margin to complete a two-game regular season series sweep.
Suffolk hosts Nichols in its ECAC Northeast regular season finale on Wednesday evening at O'Neil Rink beginning at 7:40 p.m., as the Rams enter that game trailing the league-leading Bison by just two points in the conference standings. Becker entertains Wentworth in an ECAC Northeast outing on Tuesday afternoon in Marlboro, Mass. that faces off at 4:30 p.m.
