Player of the Week
Donte' DiPonio, Plymouth State
Junior, Defense, Trenton, Mich.
Diponio had a career-high three-point game behind the strength of two goals and an assist as Plymouth State flew past Worcester State, 8-1, on Tuesday. Potted his first of the game with 1:11 left in the first period, then helped set up a short-handed tally less than three minutes into the second as PSU raced out to the lead. DiPonio capped his career night when he snagged a rebound and backhanded it into the net to make it 5-0 in the final minutes of the second period. |

Pichette netted Westfield’s second goal of the day, staking the Owls to 2-1 lead in what proved to be a 3-2 setback to SNHU as the teams skated to beat hunger in Woburn, Mass., the hometown of the coaches of both programs. |
