MANCHESTER, N.H. – Host Southern New Hampshire scored five unanswered goals within a 10-minute span that bridged the first and second quarters to upend The College of Saint Rose 17-5 in Northeast-10 Conference action today.

Gabriel Nish scored four goals and fifth year attack
Jack Pemrick finished with a goal and an assist for Saint Rose (7-6/2-4 NE10). Junior goalie
Ryan Fleming came up with 14 saves, while senior defenseman

Junior Ryan Auger and senior attack Chris Valentine found the back of the cage three times each, and sophomore attack Jack Terrones set up three strikes to pace the Southern New Hampshire offense. The latter also scored twice himself.
Â
The Golden Knights bounced back from an early 2-0 deficit as Nish struck twice within a four-minute stretch to deadlock the game 2-2 with 4:08 left in the first quarter. However, Valentine countered two minutes later and the Penmen scored four unanswered goals over the initial eight minutes of the second to put themselves in control behind a 7-2 advantage.
