A two-goal third period sealed UMass's 4-1 victory over New Hampshire. Senior P.J. Fenton capped a career performance with a goal and an assist in the frame.

The win lifts UMass to a second-place tie with idle Boston College.

The Fenton score came on a power play when he redirected a shot from sophomore winger Will Ortiz through the legs of UNH's Brian Foster.

Fenton's senior season hasn't gotten off to a very prolific start, coming into tonight's matchup he had four points in the season's first 14 games.

Quirk's score came late in the period with the Minutemen already ahead 3-1. Fenton shot from the point hit the skate of Foster and kicked over to Quirk who slapped home the rebound. The Minutemen are now 38-0-1 in their last 39 games when scoring at least four goals.
