If you spend more time in the offensive zone and get more shots on net you&#8217;ll have success,&#8221; said Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy. &#8220;They&#8217;re a good team. I said to coach (Dick) Umile I thought this was as evenly matched a series as we&#8217;ve had in a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first period saw Merrimack (13-17-7) come out for the second game in a row firing shots at Daniel Tirone from all angles.<\/p>\n<p>UNH (11-20-6) nearly drew first blood when a shot was taken from the blue line that skipped past Vogler but hit the post and came out. The period ended in a scoreless tie after both goaltenders had solid performances.<\/p>\n<p>The second period saw Merrimack take its largest lead of the series. Petti got things going when he sought after a loose puck and snuck it past Tirone to give Merrimack a 1-0 lead 8:01 into the period.<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes later they added to that lead when sophomore winger Hennig followed his own rebound and jammed it past Tirone to give Merrimack a 2-0 advantage heading into the final period of play.<\/p>\n<p>Merrimack worked with eight minutes of power-play time in the third period, including a pair of five-on-three advantage that UNH&#8217;s penalty kill shut down to keep the deficit at two.<\/p>\n<p>UNH got on the board with a goal from Matt Dawson on a wrister from the top of the slot past Vogler to cut the lead in half at 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>The Wildcats had a late power play and pulled the goalie, but the Warriors held on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had our chances,&#8221; Umile said. &#8220;Obviously, it was a crazy third period. They won. It was a hard-fought series; congrats to Merrimack.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goaltender Drew Vogler and Merrimack held off a late New Hampshire charge to earn a spot in the Hockey East quarterfinals against Providence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":22374,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22134"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22134"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22137,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22134\/revisions\/22137"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22134"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/recaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=22134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
