Stories Related to Vermont Beats Umaine Men’s Hockey In Overtime

University of Vermont sophomore defenseman Cory Babichuk picked an ideal time for his first goal of the season. Babichuk scored a power play goal with 2:13 remaining in overtime to give the Catamounts a 1-0 victory over the University of Maine in front of a small crowd at Alfond Arena Friday night. The teams were playing three-on-three in overtime when UMaine defenseman David Breazeale lost the puck and interfered with Andrew Lucas, who was looking to skate around him and go in alone on UMaine goalie Victor Ostman. The Catamounts went on the four-on-three power play and they stickhandled it around the perimeter until Robbie Stucker slid the puck over to Babichuk, who sailed a 25-foot wrist shot past Ostman’s glove. Vermont improved to 3-9-1 overall and 2-4-1 in Hockey East.
