SCHENECTADY, NY – Sophomore forward Daniel Carr scored two
of Union’s four power play goals, and freshman forward Trevor
Mingoia added a pair of scores to lead the No. 14 men’s ice
hockey (10-5-6, 4-2-3 ECAC Hockey) to a 7-1 win over Dartmouth
(7-6-2, 4-4-1 ECAC Hockey) in front of 2,404 fans at Messa

second period after the Dutchmen scored their fifth goal of the
night.
Sophomore forward Jeremy Welsh gave Union an early lead at even
strength, firing a wrist shot over the blocker of Morris at 7:14 of
the first period for his team-leading 14th goal of the season.
The Dutchmen then went to work on their power play, which scored on
three consecutive opportunities late in the first and early in the
second period.
Freshman defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere got Union rolling when his
shot from the point deflected off Dartmouth’s Andy Simpson
and into the net at 15:23.
With Union on another power play just over a minute later, Carr
scored from just outside the goal crease at 17:07 to put the
Dutchmen up 3-0 after one period of play.
Early in the second period, Mingoia scored his first of the night
at the end of a power play opportunity that carried over from the
first period, finishing from a wide angle at :47. Just over a
minute later at even-strength, Union increased its lead to 5-0 on
Mingoia’s second of the night at 1:58 as Dartmouth pulled
Morris in favor of Jody O’Neill.

third period, as Carr notched his 11th goal of the year and

power play goals in a game.
