    Bison Bounce Back Against the Golden Bears on Senior Night

    Burriville, RI Assistant Captain Scotty Cuthrell (Junior) lead the way with
    three points (1G, 2A) as the Bison defeated the Golden Bears of Western New
    England University on Saturday 3 to 1.

    The Bison headed into the matchup on February 4th battling for the number
    one position in the CCC with rival Endicott who are ranked 10th in the country.
    Nichols was looking to get back on the right track after a disappointing 4 to 4
    draw with Becker earlier in the week.

    We let off the gas on Tuesday and allowed Becker back in the game said
    Cuthrell. We shouldve ran away with that game but they fought back and
    we escaped with a point Cuthrell added. His goal late in the third period on
    Tuesday tied the game at 4 for the Bison.

    The Bison got on the board early verse WNE thanks to a power play goal
    from junior Cody Rodgers. Cuthrell took the puck off the half wall and slid a
    no look pass to Rodgers who put it in the back of the net before the goalie
    could even react. Red Shirt Senior Pat Salkind stopped all seven shots he
    faced in the opening frame.

    The second period was extremely chippy. With 12 total penalties (6 for each
    side). The second period looked like playoff hockey, very physical with a
    scrum after every whistle. Halfway through the period Cuthrell head manned
    the puck to J.B. Baker, who leads the team in points with 31. Baker beat his
    defender and put it past the Golden Bears goaltender to make the game 2 to
    0.

    The remainder of the period was just missed opportunity after missed
    opportunity for the Bison. Freshman Nick Mangone hit the crossbar on a
    shorthanded chance early in the period. Fellow freshman Vincent Crivello
    almost put away an impossible shot short side on the Golden Bears
    goaltender.
    The bison started the final frame on the power play thanks to a slashing
    penalty by WNE with about a minute remaining in the second. The Bison
    made quick work of the power play, scoring 21 seconds into the period.

    Matt Menta (sophomore) made a slick pass through two defenders to Cuthrell
    who made a move to his backhand and beat the keeper to add to their lead.
    We played our game today which is why we came out with the W said
    Menta. Its great to get a conference win especially on Senior Night he
    added.

    The only mistake made the entire game by the Bison was when they failed to
    get the puck out of the zone and allowed WNE to maintain pressure and end
    up on the bored with about 6 minutes left in the game.

    After that mental lapse the Bison really turned on the intensity in the
    defensive zone and only allowed a few shots in the final 5 minutes. That late
    goal was really a wakeup call for our team said assistant coach Dan
    Pelletier, Especially after Tuesdays game we need to finish teams off, we
    cant let them back into the game.

    Senior Pat Salkind finished the game with 23 saves on what is most likely his
    final start as a Bison. The Springfield, VA native has spent the majority of his
    Nichols career as a backup. He backed up four-year starter and All-American
    goaltender Alex Larson for three years. Red shirted his senior season and has
    backed up junior Colin Brennan for the majority of this season.

    The Bison held on to defeat the Golden Bears 3 to 1 and look to use this
    victory as momentum towards their final away matchup of the regular
    season against conference foe Salve Regina on Wednesday night.
