Men's Ice Hockey: Hawks Defeat Westfield

BRISTOL, R.I. – The Roger Williams men's ice hockey team faced Westfield State University on Friday night at Portsmouth Abbey Arena, securing a victory with a final score of 3-1.
 
Brian Gazard (Ashland, Mass.) initiated the scoring for the Hawks around eight minutes into the contest with an assist from Peyton Defeo (Boxford, Mass.) on a power play. Westfield State then found themselves in a power play situation of their own, which they capitalized on, tying the game 1-1. The Hawks responded by reclaiming the lead less than a minute later, with Defeo finding the back of the net, this time assisted by Gazard.
 
After a scoreless second period, the Hawks had another power play opportunity near the end of the third. Matt Marois (Sutton, Mass.) lit up the scoreboard, sealing the game and making the final score 3-1 in favor of Roger Williams.
 
Roger Williams (5-8-0) will face off against Westfield State again on Sunday, Dec. 3, at 1:00 pm, this time at Amelia Park Arena. This will be followed by another away game for the Hawks against Eastern Connecticut State on Saturday, Dec. 9. Subsequently, the Hawks will make their next home debut against UConn.
