DURHAM, N.H. -- UMass gave up three third-period goals to blow a golden opportunity to steal game one of the the best-of-three Hockey East quarterfinal series.
Matt Fornataro and Greg Collins scored on odd-man rushes to pull away from the Minutemen early in third. UMass struggled to hold onto the puck and could not muster any offense after keeping pace with the Wildcats for the first two periods.
Jerry Pollastrone scored his second goal of the night on a empty net to close out the game. The Minutemen face elimination tomorrow night in Durham and must win the next two games to advance to the semifinals next week at the TD BankNorth Garden in Boston.
