At Mullins Center in Amherst, Mass. - Lowell 4, Amherst 3
 
Lowell overcame a hot goalie as well as some undisciplined play to defeat
Amherst with just 0:12 left in overtime. Kevin Bertram scored the winning
goal after Jeremy Kyte had scored a game-tying shorthanded goal for Lowell
with under 2 minutes remaining in regulation.
 
The first period saw a rash of Lowell penalties .. six straight which
resulted in a 5-on-3 for well over a minute. Amherst was only able to score
one (Turner unassisted) however and the period ended with Amherst up 1-0.
 
The second period was all Lowell as they dominated the shot count 15-2, but
the stellar play of Amherst goalie Markus Helanen kept it close with Lowell
only scoring one (Cappelletti from Campbell and Bell) and the period ended
1-1.
 
Lowell took a 2-1 lead at 4:59 (Brown unassisted). Amherst tied it up at two
with a goal from Stephens (from Fitzgerald) and they took a 3-2 lead with a
score at 15:14 (Wallis from Geever and King).
 
Amherst then got a power-play  close to the 17:00 minute mark, which led to
Kyte's heriocs at 18:07.
 
Markus Helanen stopped 36 of the 40 shots by Lowell whereas Lowell's goalie
Scott Fankhouser got 18 saves on 21 Amherst shots.
 
Lowell is 1-0 overall, 1-0 HockeyEast and faces ECAC rival RPI on Saturday
afternoon at home.
Amherst is 0-2 overall, 0-1 in HockeyEast and has the weekend off before
facing Merrimack next Friday.
