Sophomore Jared Melman (San Jose, Calif.), junior Sean Sullivan (Worcester, Mass.), first-year Cassidy April (San Diego, Calif.), and sophomore Shayne Toohey (Beaconsfield, Quebec) netted the goals for UNE, which finished with a 33-29 edge in shots.

For the Beacons, first-year Zach Andrews (Coral Springs, Fla.) posted 29 saves to earn the victory, while classmate Derek Colucci (North Scituate, R.I.) tallied three assists to help fuel the attack.

Big Blue sophomore Colby Drost (Franklin Lakes, N.J.) turned away 15 shots over the initial 45 minutes before giving way to junior Ian Edwards (Linden, Mich.), who chalked up saves on all seven shots he faced the rest of the afternoon. First-year Tom Gildersleeve (New Harbor, Maine) was credited with a team-high two assists.

UMass Boston heads home this weekend to entertain Saint Michael's College (Friday) and No. 1 Norwich (Saturday) as the regular-season comes to an end.
