BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — For a man whose team advanced to an NCAA regional championship game with a 5-1 win, UMass coach Greg Carvel gave a frank, negative assessment of the Minutemen\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a grinding game, there were a lot of odd-man rushes and that is not good,\u201d said Carvel of the win over Lake Superior State. \u201cWe\u2019ll take them, but we\u2019re not supposed to give them. I didn\u2019t like that fact. I thought we had the game backwards. When we had the puck we were slow. When we didn\u2019t have the puck, we were checking aggressively and we needed to flip that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we were better in the third, but for two periods, I wasn\u2019t overly happy with the way were playing and again. We were off tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the first period ended in a 1-1 tie, the Minutemen scored twice at even strength less than two minutes apart in the second period and added both a power-play tally and the empty-net goal in the third. Even after outshooting Lake Superior State 18-12 in the second and coming away with a two-goal lead, Carvel said he let his team know how he felt about their play in the second intermission.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t say anything,\u201d said Carvel. \u201cI yelled it. I was not happy after two periods. I think we were ahead 3-1 but we were sloppy. We gave up many odd-man situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carvel was especially unhappy with the number of penalties UMass took, including interference and hooking penalties in the third period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took interference penalties because we cheated the game,\u201d said Carvel. \u201cWhen you cheat the game, that\u2019s what happens. We didn\u2019t take five penalties in three [Hockey East] playoff games. We did certain things well and the kids compete hard and they scored from in front of the net, which was key to the game, but we\u2019re not going to win more games at this level at this time of the year playing like we did tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake Gaudet let the Minutemen with two goals tonight, the first at 10:07 in the first to give UMass the early 1-0 lead and the second on the power play at 10:49 in the third. They were the senior captain\u2019s fourth and fifth goals of the season, and Carvel had something to say about that as well, referencing junior Bobby Trivigno\u2019s team-leading 10 goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrivigno can\u2019t carry us every single game,\u201d said Carvel. \u201cWe need other guys to step up and Gaudet\u2019s got three goals in the last two games and the way he should be scoring, around the net, owning space, being a big player. Happy for him. We needed that. I didn\u2019t think we had a lot of guys going tonight and he was, luckily.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josh Lopina and Carson Gicewicz had the second-period goals for the Minutemen and Anthony Del Gaizo found the empty net with 4:13 remaining in regulation, when the Lakers had pulled goaltender Mareks Mitens early for the extra attacker.<\/p>\n

Junior Ashton Calder had the lone goal for Lake Superior State at 17:14 in the first period. Both goaltenders worked this one. Mitens made 32 saves on the 36 shots that he faced. For Massachusetts, Filip Lindberg allowed one goal on 31 shots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve not given Filip Lindberg lot of credit down the stretch, but he deserves it all tonight,” said Carvel. “He was outstanding when we were not great.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the second consecutive NCAA tournament appearance for the Minutemen, who lost the national championship game to Minnesota Duluth in 2019. The Lakers, though, are a different story. The last time Lake Superior State played an NCAA tournament game was in 1996.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t be 25 years before you see us again,\u201d said LSSU coach Damon Whitten. \u201cWe\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lakers captured the WCHA playoff championship title and finish the season with a record of 19-7-3.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t take the sting out,\u201d said Whitten. \u201cIt hurts. We came in expecting to win a game, win a couple of games and move on. We\u2019re champions. We\u2019ve restored a lot of pride in the program with what we\u2019ve done.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minutemen (15-5-4) advance to play Bemidji State (16-9-3) in the East Regional championship game Saturday. The No. 4 seed Beavers upset No. 1 Wisconsin 6-3 in the first semifinal game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
