Aside from the exhibition games, Sunday was a light schedule across men’s college hockey.

Perhaps the biggest win was upstart Stonehill, in just the Skyhawks’ third season at the NCAA Division I level, knocking off Merrimack 3-2 in overtime at Lawler Arena in North Andover, Mass., on a Devlin O’Brien goal 38 seconds into extra time.

Anthony Galante had tied it 2-2 for the Skyhawks at 19:51 of the third period.

Brady Hunter also scored for Stonehill and goaltender Spencer Marquis made 22 saves for the win.

For the Warriors, Seamus Powell and Ty Daneault scored and Connor Androlewicz finished with 27 saves in goal.
